MICHAEL BARONE BLOGS his interview with President Bush.

He’s got audio, and he asked Bush about the oil trust idea.

UPDATE: Reader Richard Vermillion emails:

Just thought you’d be interested to know that Steve Forbes pushed the Iraqi Oil Trust idea this morning in his keynote speech at the Better Management Live conference in Las Vegas. In the middle of a talk about innovation in business, he took time out to endorse this “innovative” approach to stabilizing Iraq. Perhaps the idea is gaining momentum….?

Let’s hope, though it would have done more good back when it was first suggested.
