Why would he bother? The US obviously has no influence in Iraq or in Cuba. That's another dumb post of yours Donny boy. Best to quit while you are behind. JLA

Shifting the subject....There were some prior discussions on the thread related to leadership, delegation, etc.. Generally along the lines that GW is a hands off President. Set the vision and let the troops take care of the rest. All in all, not a bad philosophy. So I took special interest when I came across this article. washingtonpost.com I might have thought with the precedence already established that the Commander of the Base, perhaps with some consultation with the US Embassy/State Department could make a decision here. In Tokyo, Japanese foreign ministry officials said Powell told Japanese Foreign Minister Makiki Tanaka in a telephone call that President Bush would take part in a decision on whether to hand the suspect over to Japanese police. Not bad, Bush doesn't seem to be able to trust the Base Commander and Embassay to make a decision here. He can't even bring himself to let the Secretary of State make the decision. Colin Powell must be feeling pretty empowered right now. I suppose he feels a need to get in front and be the tough President. Diverting afterwards to a baseball related event for a photo op. jttmab
