willygibbons, you'll continue to support the neocon fascists all the way down the path to hell. Bush's actions were those of an imbecile out of his depth or an imbecile caught in the act. The first thing the commander in chief should do is demand a full briefing and begin defensive actions. The excuse of 'projecting calm' is ludicrous. Surely the spinmeisters could come up with better B.S. than that!
