Sorry-ass behavior

Bush said again, in this presser with Blair, that IT’S UP TO THE GENERALS TO DECIDE WHEN WE PULL OUT OF IRAQ.

I think it’s time to call Bush out on this. “Are you saying that the buck stops with the generals, Mr. President?”

Why won’t somebody ask him this question?

I don’t know who this Ty Cobb guy is ( I thought Ty Cobb was a baseball player???)

But he clearly has not kept up with the reading in this case.

Fitz has succesfully dodged most if not all of the greymail problem.

Methinks either Mr. Cobb was speaking w/o knowledge or he was being a bit mendacious

Those newspaper articles didn’t help much did they? Those reporters never

I guess you will ground me now. its not fair that Dick and Rummy get away
with it. They told me what to do. They were in the car too. Wolf moved away
when the papers got too bad. Lucky.

Yes I know I was the one picked to drive. My name is on the police
report…..

Its just not fair.
