Post: President Is Long On Resolve but Short on Details By Dan Balz Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, April 14, 2004; Page A01 washingtonpost.com An unapologetic President Bush stood before the nation last night. Robustly defending the principles behind his policies in Iraq and the war on terrorism, Bush steadfastly refused to admit mistakes and passed up opportunities to explain what it will take to achieve his goal of a free and stable Iraq. <more> Excerpt: Toward the end of the news conference, Bush was asked what lessons he had taken away from events since the Sept. 11 attacks. He stopped, shook his head, looked quizzical and then came up empty, although it was the kind of question he must have been told to prepare for. "I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, all the pressure of trying to come up with an answer," he said. "But it hasn't yet."

>>> There was still no clear description of exactly who will accept the sovereignty of Iraq from the coalition on June 30. "We'll find out that soon," the president said, adding that U.N. officials are "figuring out the nature of the entity we'll be handing sovereignty over" to. In Mr. Bush's mind, whatever happens next now appears to be the responsibility of the United Nations. That must have come as a surprise to the U.N. negotiators and their bosses, who have not agreed to accept that responsibility and do not believe that they have been given the authority to make those decisions.<<< I'm tellin' yer folks--Bush is sitting in the most powerful seat in the world while in possession of a high school mentality. And we're seeing the tragedy of what happens when a figurehead, instead of a true statesmen, gets--I wish I could say "wins"--the presidency.
