De Standaard in an analysis piece asks if George W. Bush's trip has been successful, and concludes generally that it has, but the news story has dropped off "la une". I'm thankful. This week I've read more Flemish then since I left Belgium ...
"Having said that, all options are open..." Dubya, as usual contradicts his own statements and is clear as mud.
