LET'S SHORTEN THAT A BIT

Bush is throwing a tempertantrum about the UN, and here, from the piece:

Some White House aides said Bush is so frustrated with the United Nations that it is likely to have long-term ramifications.

Hmm, by my calculations, the "long-term" in "long-term ramifications" means "1 year, 7 months, and 22 days". We'll see.
