"Did you notice how silent it was after Honore ask who said that?"
Command voice, part of the West Point curriculum.
Most folks never realize it, but after an officer has survived the competition of a military career and combat, succeeding well enough to be awarded stars, his first reaction on walking into any room or situation is to answer the question, "How can I kill every single person here?"
Once answered, his actual responses will be dictated by the use of the minimum force or assets necessary to accomplish his mission.
"Going maximal" is online as an available option at all times, never to be advertised or wasted. Much more useful than admiring what he actually did to that reporter would be asking yourself just how much else he was holding "in his pocket" and deemed unnecessary to use.
You said it.
2:30 P.M. - BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- As President Bush visits Louisiana, it's hard to hide the rift with Louisiana's governor over hurricane relief efforts. Both leaders have been talking to people in Baton Rouge today, but not always with each other. At the Bethany World Prayer Center, Bush and Kathleen Blanco seemed like estranged in-laws at a holiday gathering, keeping their distance as they walked around. According to Blanco's office, the governor wasn't informed of the timing of Bush's visit, nor was she immediately invited to meet him or travel with him.
