Bush says Iraq's Aziz skirting the truth / Howard's Ranch Visit
CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush expressed unshakable confidence Saturday that banned weapons will be found in Iraq and complained that Tariq Aziz, one of Saddam Hussein's closest deputies, is not cooperating with U.S. forces who have him in custody.

Aziz surrendered to U.S. forces on April 24, after the collapse of Baghdad. U.S. officials had hoped that Aziz, who made Saddam's case before the world when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, could provide information about the deposed president's whereabouts and Iraq's weapons. But Bush said Aziz was not cooperating.
"We're learning, for example, that Tariq Aziz still doesn't know how to tell the truth," Bush said. "He didn't know how to tell the truth when he was in office; he doesn't know how to tell the truth as a captive."

Howard got the full ranch treatment, including
a ride to the news conference in Bush's white pickup truck. The two men's wives accompanied them from the back seat, as did the Bushes' Scottish terrier, Barney.
What Howard didn't get, however, was an afternoon of fishing in Bush's stocked pond. Bush said he regretted that the prime minister opted for a nap instead.
