    Top-ranking Americans have told equally top-ranking Indians in recent weeks that the US has plans to invade Iran before Bush’s term ends. In 2002, a year before the US invaded Iraq, high-ranking Americans had similarly shared their definitive vision of a post-Saddam Iraq, making it clear that they would change the regime in Baghdad.

    29 September 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Depressed and demoralized White House staffers say working at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is "life in a hellhole" as they try to deal with a sullen, moody President whose temper tantrums drive staffers crying from the room and bring the business of running the country to a halt.
    "It’s like working in an insane asylum," says one White House aide. "People walk around like they’re in a trance. We’re the dance band on the Titanic, playing out our last songs to people who know the ship is sinking (…)

    Last update: September 21, 2005
    There’s not a great deal of confidence in the Federal Emergency Management Agency now that Florida gets ready to clean up after another hurricane. FEMA continues to be attacked for cronyism.
