That's part of it. The other part is, "Amazing how many freepers were quick to accept media accounts/interpretations of Bush's announcement."
Let's be honest and fair here, Bush has justly earned his doubting Thomases! He did it to himself and only those who've been living under a rock, or those to whom winning trumps principle (which forces the question "Winning what?") would not base their judgement on what he says TODAY...because yesterday means little to him.
Still, I am happy to hear his reply.
