http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/10/world/europe/10cnd-prexy.html?hpOn Saturday in Rome, the president agreed there should be a deadline to end the United Nations talks, saying, “In terms of a deadline, there needs to be one, it needs to happen.”
But today, less than 24 hours later, Mr. Bush tried to backtrack when asked when that deadline might be.
“First of all, I don’t think I called for a deadline,” Mr. Bush said, during a press appearance with Prime Minister Berisha in the courtyard of a government ministry building. He was reminded that he had.
“I did?” he asked, sounding surprised. “What exactly did I say? I said ‘deadline’? Okay, yes, then I meant what I said.”
