This Would Sure Give Me Confidence
Bush said he had spoken twice in the past few days with Gen. John Abizaid, the overall commanded [sic] of the Iraq war, and that Abizaid "knows full well when he speaks to me, if he needs additional manpower, he can ask for it."

While watching a little C-SPAN, I caught the "press availability" that Bush held outside of a church on Easter. When I heard that, I wondered why the Shrubster said "he can ask for it" rather than "he can have it".

Second observation: Vacation Boy has picked up Dr. Rice's rather annoying habit of slipping into a shit eating grin while speaking about things of great importance. WTF is that all about?

Third observation: The main stream press continues to give this guy a pass. The questions ranged from mild to lame. No one said, "Mr. Resident, assuming your National Security Council lacked to foresight to connect the threat warnings of hijackings, high explosives, an attack on Washington, etc. contained in the PDB with the use of aircraft as missiles, the threat of so-called "normal" hijackings by itself seems like a very serious issue. What specific actions did you and your administration take to keep America safe from al Qaeda hijackers?"

You know why--whoever said that would "lose access."
