What??!
I am stunned by this "analysis". I saw President Bush yesterday and I would say "furious" would be the apt description.
His stern and grim visage accompanied by his remarks indicated he was fully aware of what had transpired.
Naturally, I missed Rosen, but cannot fathom why he would characterize it as you say he did.
And while I'm on the subject, at that time President Bush was asked about the granting of exile for Saddam that some in the press seem intent on getting him to agree to, and he stated flatly that the deadline on that option expired Wed night. That is why when someone said Ari was asked, YET AGAIN, about this today I was amazed (but not surprised).
