Friend and foe alike have long grumbled that President Bush should shed some of the Texas insiders on his staff and assemble a more diverse team willing to confront him with competing ideas and bad news. Now it seems the president is doing just that, but at a stage when his low popularity ratings...

Australian Prime Minister John Howard, whom US President George W. Bush called his ``deputy sheriff&#39;&#39; in Asia, faces little more than 50-50 odds that he&#39;ll win re-election as the country&#39;s second-longest serving leader.

GEORGE W Bushâs neo-conservatives wanted to shake up the Middle East. At the end of 2004, it seems that mission may be accomplished - but perhaps not in quite the way they had hoped.

One of the bright spots in Paul Martin&#39;s prime ministership, we&#39;re told, is the figure he cuts abroad. He may seem awkward and ill-at-ease at home and weak in his dealings with George W. Bush, but over in Africa, he comes to life.

Oliver Stone isnât a fan of the decision to invade Iraq, but in his next film he wants to render âa fair, true portraitâ of President Bush, Variety reported. âHow did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?â Mr. Stone asked. âItâs like Frank Capra territory on one hand, but Iâll also cover the demons in his private life, his bouts with his dad and his conversion to Christianity, which explains a lot of where he is coming from. It includes his belief that God personally chose him to be president of the United States, and his coming into his own, with the stunning, pre-emptive attack on Iraq. It will contain surprises for Bush supporters and his detractors.â If financing materializes, âBush,â starring Josh Brolin, above, as the president in a screenplay written by Stanley Weiser, who wrote âWall Streetâ with Mr. Stone, will go before the cameras in April and could be in theaters by Election Day or by the inauguration of the next president. âIâm a dramatist who is interested in people,â Mr. Stone said, âand I have empathy for Bush as a human being, much as I did for Castro, Nixon, Jim Morrison, Jim Garrison and Alexander the Great.â.

President Bush took advantage of a vacationing Congress, a surprise visit to once-restive Anbar province and supportive words from Australia's prime minister to trumpet his claims of progress in Iraq. Now he must press his case to skeptical lawmakers and a war-weary U.S. public.

Once written off as an &quot;accidental president&quot; lacking statesmanship and political gravitas, George W. Bush confounded critics with a powerful showing in his bid for a second White House term.
