Too bad the White House did such a bumbling job on this whole debacle, they have only themselves to blame.
One of the main jobs of an effective president is explaining and promoting policy to the American people. Bush gets an F- on this...

Yeah, the media sure gives him LOTS of opportunities to explain things to us, when they're not asking about Abu Grabe or WMDs. Can't figure out why he can't get the "message out" especially with such a cooperative media.

The law was followed and the bureaucrats didn't inform the President until the decision was made.

Your problem is with the law, not the President. I suggest you write your Congress-critters.

Bush gets an F- on this...

He does indeed. And Charles Schumer gets an A+ in opportunism and hysteria. The pubbies in the House get an A+ as lemmings. Peter King and his ilk get an A+ in bowing to union pressure. I might have given them an F- in responsibility and real national security, but I feel generous about grades today.

This wasn't some foreign policy initiative Dubya thought he had to explain and campaign for. It's a business deal that made sense until the drive-by media went on a tirade and persuaded the easily gullible. In the end it doesn't make a whole lot of difference either way...it just gives Dubya haters, like you and the rats, something to complain about.

Why don't you just stick to bashing Dubya's faith in divine creationism. You're not nearly as persuasive on issues that don't require your intense hatred of the Lord.
