President Bush today postponed his departure from Washington for his traditional August vacation at his Texas ranch, as he sought to respond to a crisis in the Caucasus nation of Georgia.
Mr. Bush had been scheduled to leave the White House for Crawford, Tx., on Thursday morning. He will now likely leave on Friday.
