Xinhua News Agency - You Could Be Next!!!
On Sunday, President Bush fielded questions from reporters in Beijing.
Apparently, Mr. Bush seemed tense during much of the day. When a reporter asked him about that later, he said, "Have you ever heard of jet lag?"
After ending his brief meeting with reporters, the president turned around and tried to go out a door that was locked. Turning back to reporters, he said, joking: "I was trying to escape. It didn't work."
This all seemed funny. Bush came off as a good-natured, goofy guy. Faced with tough questions posed by foreign news agencies he tried to joke his way out.
Today, we find out that faced with similarly tough questions last year, Bush considered bombing his way out.
Now that is an escape plan.

Downing Street is facing calls to publish a transcript of a conversation in which Tony Blair allegedly persuaded George Bush to drop plans to bomb Arab TV station Al-Jazeera.
According to reports, in a memo Bush said he wanted to attack the TV station in Qatar - a key Middle East ally of the west. And it allegedly details how Mr Blair argued against an attack on the station's buildings in the capital city of Doha, saying it would lead to retaliation.
Al-Jazeera is well-known for broadcasting videos from Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda followers, a policy which his angered the Bush administration.
The transcript allegedly records a conversation during Mr Blair's visit to the White House on April 16 last year, in the wake of a failed attempt to root out insurgents in the city of Fallujah, in which 30 US Marines died.
Now that is an escape plan.
