Mornin', Snugs :)

I got the impression that W was impatient rather than angry or annoyed maybe he felt rather than all the talk and showing of diagrams that he has probably seen a 100 times that they should be getting on with the purpose of the visit actually visiting the people the explanation of what is currently being done can be done at the same time

You're right, I think. W did seem slightly impatient during the briefing. But at the same time I didn't get the feeling that the briefing was a "show", like something Clinton would've slapped together. The president seemed truly interested in what he was being told. Except when it came to Riley :)

I think he was interested but IMHO I think he thought it went on too long in the hanger and some of it could have been done on the journey after all the Satellite pictures he must have seen many times.

I do not think it was a media show but this President does not care for what he may view as small talk regardless of whether some see it as necessary
