Leaders to meet on Iraq

Tony Blair is to fly to Washington next week to discuss the worsening situation in Iraq with George Bush. The leaders' scheduled meeting on April 16 will follow a surge in attacks on Coalition forces. Iraqi radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr has vowed to continue a Shi'ite uprising until the forces answer his demands

1. Maybe they'll do something sensible

Then again, maybe not. You never can tell with these people.

2. You can tell alright.

I'll put my next 10 paychecks on "not sensible".

At least if "sense" is defined by the interests of people they supposedly represent.

5. Yeah, I know

they probably won't do anything sensible. They haven't done much to show signs of sensibleness. Just trying to be optimistic.
