Bush could just intone "9" "1" "1" from now until Nov. 2nd. Wrong. Make that Nov. 3rd. ["rd" superscripted, but my Selectric just won't do the trick here.]

I'll never forget when Rice had to read the title of the PDB Paper in the 9/11 hearings. "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." Condi don't fight no wars, she just gives them a leg up. "Rice's testimony raised more questions than she answered. Was she truthful in describing Clarke's Jan. 25, 2001, plan to attack al-Qaida, which remained in bureaucratic limbo until a week before Sept. 11? Nobody will know unless and until that document, too, is declassified. What about the task force headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, which was supposed to begin assessing homeland security in May 2001, but reportedly never met until after Sept. 11? The national security advisor walked away from the witness table, never to return, with her characteristic poise intact, and without apologizing or acknowledging any error. Stripped of all the seminar verbiage, her message was simple enough for her boss: Nothing could have been done to prevent Sept. 11. "The emotive significance of the briefing - in the form of a memorandum sent to the president summarising potential threats to the US - is all the greater because at the time he received it, Mr Bush was on a month-long "working holiday" at his Texas ranch and spent much of the following days fishing and clearing undergrowth on his land. He did not cut short his vacation or apparently take dramatic steps in response to the briefing." George don't take no time away from his vacation hayfield. Sioux
