Salon: Straight Talk and Cakewalk

The Bush and Blair show
The president has the reputation for straight talk, but it's his British ally who actually delivers it.

Even with no requirements for participation on the coalition list, several of those countries have expressed issues with their inclusion on the list.

Of the 48 countries on the White House list, only nine have expelled their Iraqi diplomats, as the U.S. requested. And of those nine, Jordan has said that Iraq can send replacements at any time.

Who said or implied this would be a "Cakewalk"

Vice President Dick Cheney
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz
Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
