OTOH, I think it IS kind of funny that most left-wingers think GWB is
a dunce, but that he's smart enough to be able to do what the sum

up on the gazillion or so other things he has to deal with daily.

That would be like me accusing you of missing something that was
buried at the bottom of page 54 of a Tuesday issue of the New York
Times (of course, it would have to be a reference to an article that
didn't actually say anything about the subject, to make the comparison
more accurate). That would be silly, of course... but no sillier than
those who want to blame Bush for the failure to connect the dots.

I heard the report I remember on NPR or nightly news.

Another bastion of journalistic integrity - heh heh heh.

Forget it, Mark, jls seems to have a fetish for conspiracies.

I'm just trying to get him to realize that all the Democrat
bomb-throwers filed this one away the day after the election. No one
with even a semblance of common sense would expect the POTUS to be the
one who can pull a "Columbo" out of a proverbial hat, when the sum
total of our combined intelligence agencies couldn't.

How goofy. They did have ample intelligence and neither Bush nor anybody
else would listen to them. Now that Americans have read enough of the
Koran and Hadith and understand how moozle-um martyrdom got those zealots a
special place on a higher plain in their paradise, plenty of wine and little
boys and girls to please their lust through eternity, while Bush and idiots
Ashcroft and Cheney called their religion a religion of peace (hawhawhaw!),
Americans are beginning to see the light. Most of them would vote for Bush
again though, because they're addle-brained and stuck on their SUV's and
what little modicum of prosperity they are squandering.

Fortunately, Bush DID help fix the division between the agencies,
which is consistent with his job description (while sleuthing isn't).

Yeah, that's right. The Preznit shouldn't be expected to know the contents
of his daily briefings. That would take some detective work. And Laura was
probably too busy at the ranch arranging the sports schedule on the teevy to
be all that concerned about it too.


It's awful hard when you're at Crawford taking it easy to be bothered with
too much detail, same as the cursory 30-minute smoker blahblah the
Texecution gov and Alberto gave to the condemned before they were executed.
