One other comment on Bush's press conference:

I thought it was brilliant in that it went right over the heads of the press corps and straight to the American people. The only thing I would have added would have been something along these lines:

"As our country wages this war, many ordinary citizens have asked me what sacrifice they can make to further our cause. I remind them it's important that, as much as possible, they continue their daily endeavors amid threat warnings and inevitable day-to-day setbacks---because a vibrant economy is vital to our continued success. Americans must remain resolute and recognize that our generation has a historic responsibility to rid the world of these threats to democratic and free societies. Do not become complacent. Never forget. Remember the day this war started. Remember and pray for all those who have joined the battle and pay them respect by remaining resolute in defeating America's enemies. "

Something like that.

Something just like that. :-)

On a different topic, I know many on FR are unhappy with George Tenet but I like the guy. Watching him in front of the 9/11 panel or giving a speech makes me understand why GWB likes him. I get a sense he's an honest, trustworthy, loyal person. I'm glad GWB kept him as CIA Director.
