I hear ya. Timing has never been this adminstrations strong suit.

Maybe they decided since everybody was feeling like hell anyway, be better to get this done and then start rebuilding.

One can hope.

Meanwhile... last week we had this from Nasrallah, the leader of Hamas. I'm so glad he is being proven right.

When I talk about an [American] failure, I'm not saying that the Americans' plan for the region has collapsed, and that they are packing up their things and leaving, like what happened in the final days in Vietnam.

But I would like to tell you clearly... I am one of those people who see a very clear picture. In our childhood... When we were young boys... I cannot forget the sight of the American forces leaving Vietnam in helicopters, which carried their officers and soldiers. Some Vietnamese, who had fought alongside the Americans, tried to climb into these helicopters, but the [Americans] threw them to the ground, abandoned them, and left. This is the sight I anticipate in our region. But I am not saying it will happen in months. It will take years. The Americans will gather their belongings and leave this region - the entire region. They have no future whatsoever in our region. They will leave the Middle East, and the Arab and Islamic worlds, like they left Vietnam. I advise all those who place their trust in the Americans to learn the lesson of Vietnam, and to learn the lesson of the South Lebanese Army with the Israelis, and to know that when the Americans lose this war – and lose it they will, Allah willing - they will abandon them to their fate, just like they did to all those who placed their trust in them throughout history.

FINALLY Bush said something I am glad he said.

"I thought the people understood about the importance of tax cuts and fighting the war on terror....but, the people have spoken"....

THERE you go...he just let it out...how disappointed he is with Americans that voted AGAINST the tax cuts..and national security.

The timing thingy has been much better since Tony Snow...I guess Tony didn't have any say....LOL
