    I thought this was hilarious:

    <<And then there's this from a "senior British official" about Bush's
    speech to the UN last year:

    "For us the key phrase was Bush's commitment to seeking a new UN
    resolution to disarm Iraq. We were only sure we had it 24 hours before
    the speech.

    "For some reason this was left out of the text on the teleprompter as
    Bush was reading it, and he had to improvise. He managed to ad-lib a
    sentence saying 'we will work with the UN Security Council for the
    necessary resolutions'. But instead of saying 'resolution' he said
    'resolutions' in the plural. That's how we got stuck with the French
    idea of two resolutions.">>
