Bush to hold crisis talks with EU
Why is anyone meeting with that lame clusterfuck?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7677486.stm
<snip>
The Europeans want the summit to pave the way for talks on an overhaul of the world's financial regulatory systems.

Earlier, Mr Sarkozy said that without regulation there could be no freedom.

The BBC's Jane O'Brien in Washington says European leaders have in the past blamed the US for the global financial crisis, which started when high-risk borrowers began defaulting on their mortgages.

But President Sarkozy, whose country currently holds the EU presidency, has made it clear he wants to move away from finger-pointing and towards a partnership with the US to overhaul the world financial system, our correspondent says.

The centrepiece of the French leader's plan is a summit of the Group of Eight richest nations that may also include China and India.

7. I hadn't thought of it that way but it's a good point.
I hope he stays frightened of leaving the country for the rest of his miserable life. Of course, I also hope he ends up being tried and convicted as a war criminal...

Hope springs eternal.
