I think that you are taking my remarks out of context. In later posts, I stated that the President has everything to do with setting the policy. I was simply remarking about Mineta and Ridge's comments on the record; that the comments were made by Mineta and Ridge, because there was an inference that it was Bush saying (as in a direct quote) "No guns.". Again, I conceded that he should be setting the policy and, indeed, if this is his policy that I was disappointed.

Hey, what can I say, I don't get it perfect everytime. No one does!

-- "IF"? -- Only disappointed? - You bush apologists, to be sure, haven't had much time to learn the fine 'bold' art of backpedaling, but enough is enough.
Decisions such as this are made with the FULL concurrence of all levels, -- and the buck stops at dubyas desk.

Yep, 'mistakes are made'. We heard a lot of that with the last administration, didn't we?
