“I just don’t know where he’s hidden them,” Rumsfeld admitted in a press conference, “I know that I’m not as good a Hide and Seek player as George but I was always a close second. I just give in. Saddam Hussein is very talented.

It is widely believed that ‘Fetch’ was the final codeword in the sequence transmitted to Mr Blair during the videoconference. Cleaners outside Mr Bush’s room at the time of the call are reported to have heard the President getting very excited, whilst shouting: “Sit boy, Sit. Good Boy. Now Roll Over.” although the White House is yet to confirm these rumours.
