I'd like to see President Bush do another strong prime time speech this week aimed directly at this leak and at the ridiculous charges of the Dems and NYT.

The Dems are in panic mode. Bush called their bluff and has declassified much of the NIE.

Anytime Nancy is defeated, I am delighted. The woman is the personification of evil and ill will.
