George W. Bush taught Ambassador Roberts the following lesson:
What President Bush taught me is as follows
DO NOT DECLARE CHESS WAR WITHOUT THE PRESIDENT=92s PERMISSION =96 or at
LEAST NOTICE!
YOU SEE, I didn=92t tell the President we were going to war. My fault!
We had to do it, Barbados invaded!
The President talked to the Prime Minster of Barbados, and then was
mad at me!
I should have asked permission!
