When ABC's Diane Sawyer recently pressed him in an interview about
whether
Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction or merely would have
liked
to
have them, Dubya replied, "What's the difference?"

Eric Alterman wrote yesterday in the The Nation:

" (Try this, Mr. President: "I shot that man, Your Honor, because he
pointed
a gun at me and was about to pull the trigger," or "I shot that man,
Your
Honor, because he looked like he was thinking about getting a gun.")"

We've come a long ways from Rummy's "We know where they (WMD) are...."

These are the kind "leadership" qualities that make Dubya somehow
"unbeatable" to some in 2004.


What makes him unbeatable is that the American public doesn't give a
****
if
WMD's are there or not, they think it worth it to oust Saddam and free
the
Iraqi people and make the Iranians and Libya start opening up.

Then there's the economy coming back.




and along comes BSE and Downer Cattle totaly out of the blue........


As I understand it only 10% of American beef is exported and the cows that
have the disease came from Canada.

The rules applying to beef here disallow the use of the tissues that carry
BSE.

The handwringing from countries not allowing American beef into their
countries is silly. In any case this should be over very soon and with
minumum damage.
