"My conclusion after reading the Defense Department statement is that this story is not going anywhere; the Defense spokesman essentially pulled the rug out from whatever traction the story had. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot... Grrrr."
I don't understand the DOD response at all. If the Whitehouse or DOD buries this story, Bush's numbers will go down with his base(people like me) again. I don't understand why the WH does not fight back on this issue?!
Dittos on the 'Grrr'!
So many of us are asking the same question. I would hope both the DOD and White House press briefings are hit hard with this today.
I really can't believe Tony Snow will let Bush just ignore this. Tony has made a difference. The anonymous part makes me wonder more than what they've said.
Although the McInerney statement makes sense. I heard him on H&C. I can definitely see Bush showing discretion re: those 3 countries.
