No more beating about the Bush

No. I wasn't imagining it. - I have checked the text. President Bush has
said in stronger language than I have ever heard that the US will give
up agriculture subsidies if Europe does the same. In a pre-recorded interview to be shown on
Britain's ITV1 channel tonight he told Trevor McDonald: "Let's get rid of ALL (my
capitalisation) subsidies together. Let's join hands as wealthy
industrialised nations and say to the world, we're going to get rid of all
our subsidies together".

When the interviewer said: "So you would if they would, because at the
moment, for example . .", the President interrupted to say "Absolutely" and
when Mr McDonald asked him further whether that included subsidies of $230
per acre of cotton grown, the President repeated "Absolutely".

Regular readers will know that the EU often issues similar challenges.
So what is holding things up? Why can't the Group of 8 meeting at
Gleneagles in Scotland this week agree that they agree and set out a
timetable for the removal of all agriculture subsidies. If the President
walks the talk at this week's summit we will have no alternative but to
offer him the presidency of kickAAS.
