Subject: RE: another Dubya new word
Here is this from the transcript of yesterday's Bush/Blair press conference down there in Crawford:

"QUESTION: Prime Minister, we've heard the president say what his policy is directly about Saddam Hussein, which is to remove him. That is the policy of the American administration. Could I ask you whether that is now the policy of the British government?

And could I ask you both, if it is now your policy to target Saddam Hussein, what has happened to the doctrine of not targeting heads of state and leaving countries to decide who their leaders should be, which is one of the principles which applied during the Gulf War?

BUSH: Maybe I should be a little less direct and be a little more nuanced and say we support regime change. "
