Do you have any information that President Bush is sympathetic to Islamic terrorists?

THAT is the implication (and some have stated it explicitly) of why you keep harping on this non-event.

No, that is the red herring inference taken by some of those who would rather this whole business disappear, as I have scrupulously pointed out that I don't believe that Bush is culpable for every blunder of his subordinates. Most recently at #64, just above your #69, to which I'm responding now.

If you still think otherwise, please find an actual post where I've taken a position against President Bush on this.

I wouldn't be so hasty to discount the culpability of the Secret Service. They have just had their superior replaced, and there have been several incidents where security has been breeched.

I do not necessarily disount political operatives in the White House, but I am not letting the Seret Service off the hook, either.

Impressive backhand of that weak side lob, sir.
