MR. McCLELLAN: That’s all I have to update at this moment. And with that, I’ll
be glad to go to your questions.
Q The other day -- in fact, this week, you said that we, the United States, is

So, what is your point? That they didn’t see eye to eye on every issue? Who

Well, Mr Talking Head, you were just gushing about how JP and GW were the
same--when exactly is the time to point out that you’re full of it?

There aren’t 2 people on earth that see everything the same. Your point is
