Yep, it's Maddy's absence that is keeping this entire process from a resounding success (/sarc: "Oh gosh, those commies lied to us!!! Who would've thought that?")
Right, but I'm very disappointed in Bush. He knows very well what happened after the first fiasco and that makes him worse. The old saying applies - make a fool of me once and it's your fault. Do it twice and it's MY fault. Especially after all that bubameister about "the axis of evil." I guess after they launch another missile he'll send some more fuel oil over.
