A bit of devils advocate here, but the liberals are now gonna jump on this, accusing bush of forcing this guy to take the fall on that statement. Look for liberals asking the question :"Whatever happened to the buck stops here?" (and I will be happy to retort to them that Reno took the blame for Waco, and they happily accepted that.)
Yes, but didn't Reno take the blame pretty quick? Like just after it happened? How long has this story been alive?
I'm not trying to blame Bush or the White House staff. But it seems like it did take a long time for Hadley to speak up...
