On the eve of President George Bush's annual State of the Union speech, the BBC's Justin Webb scrutinises his international agenda.
| “ | In a BBC radio programme a few weeks ago, I defended the Bush White House; pointing out that the president's Christian conservative base had successfully pressed for real engagement to combat the many tribulations of life in Africa
I also said that, after the Asian tsunami, the Bush team had given aid more promptly and more generously than some other players on the world stage, including some much closer to the scene of the disaster.
...Even among those clinging to secular autocracy - Syria for instance - there is rising tide of Islamic resistance spurred at least in part by the policies of the Bush White House.
Oops. | ” |

President Bush and the sad state of the Union.
You have to remember this is a husting. A sales opportunity.
