NP - George Bush? He's nice but dim, says crown prince

[Michael Kenny]

I don't know if the prince's view is valid or not,
actually.  The issue of what happened after Israeli sieges
of Jenin is such a politically contentious one that
pro-Palestinians have one strong interpretation with their
own evidence, and the pro-Israelis have another strong
interpretation with their own evidence.  I wondered if the
prince has cited anywhere what evidence Bush was ignorant
of.
