President Bush was in mid-sentence during an interview in the Oval Office in December when he motioned to one of his aides to get something out of the top drawer of his desk. The aide handed him three sheets of paper with small, color photos and thumbnail biographies of the top dozen or so leaders of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network.

On the other hand, I like the fact that he has a CHART with the thugs' pictures on it and he puts X's through them when they are killed. Ha!
Sounds just like Billy boy. hehe
History will judge this president to be one of the best since this nation was founded!! Pure and simple.
Can't you just visualize the 'Mother of all Matrixes' tho? And cracked up over Bush's reference to 'Mohammed Jones.'
This is so very like Kristol's usual comments that it was hard for me to think of anyone else saying it. Of course this could be one of those made-up anonymous quotes stuck in just so the reporter can express his opinion.
Or it could be that Woodward has a stack of old Kristol quotes and just shuffles through them when he needs one.
What an outstanding president! I used to hear constantly from liberal colleagues about how stupid, ignorant, and pathetic George W. Bush was; that's what they were fed non-stop by the news and entertainment media. It's great to see "Pravda on the Potomac" implicitly admitting that our president is not the drooling idiot he was made out to be.
The guy may not be as intellectual as Woodrow Wilson. It just doesn't matter. He knows what's right, and he does it. He was exactly what America needed.
Just a couple of criticisms of the reporters for not knowing the difference in severity between DEFCON 1 and DEFCON4. In part 1 they get it right, in part 2 they get it wrong. Also in one part Bush says the war will end at an hour and time of our choosing or words to that effect. Later on, the reporter tries to justify what he has just written by saying that Bush actually said the war will start at an hour and time of our choosing. Once again, it's always these little details that trip up reporters and the public doesn't always realize the fabrication.
