The President's Iraq policy is in ruins...

cautioned Condi did exactly nothing for her leader's plummeting poll numbers.
Hence Bush sighs, swears, and cuts short another vacation to fly back to DC for a rare press conference.
Normally this would be an option fraught with peril for the famously incoherent George Bush Jr....But with spineless cretins like the New York Times' Elisabeth familiar in the press corpse, his majesty can look forward to an easy time of it.
It is a measure of Bush's personal contempt for the White House press contingent that he is appearing sans the comforting presence of his nominal vice presidential puppet master Dick Cheney.
Clearly this is one situation that President Pinocchio can handle all by himself like a big boy.
No doubt, Bush will reiterate his asinine and embarrassing "we didn't know nuthin'" defense regarding the 8-6-01 PDB.
It is not about knowing anything though, it is about caring and by all estimates La Famiglia Arbusto couldn't have cared less about terrorism prior to the World Trade Center attacks on 9-11.
They thought Al Queda was a paltry Clinton-era feelgood sort of a threat....stuff and nonsense compared to the looming menace of Russia's aging collection of liquid fueled ICBM's.
A threat so terrifying it required a multi-billion dollar revival of strategice defense to deal with it.
Or so Dr. Rice was going to assert that very day in a never used speech.
Thus the planes sailed into the buildings....
Alas this is La Famiglia Arbusto we are talking about, their greatest weakness is that none of them can ever ever admit they were wrong or even complacent.
This character flaw will be Bush's downfall, either this year or a thousand days from now...but it will count on it.

Sick
Demented
Typical...
