Logical.. Yes.... Conceptual... not in the remotest meaning of the word.

Of course it is. Neither you nor anyone else have told me what Bush was to
have done with that 7 minutes, beyond a lot of hand-wringing.

Look Max... if you are the President and get told that a terrorist strike
has occurred on mainland USA in a major metropolis! Do you really think
that the first order priority would be to finish reading a children's book
for the kids??!!

I've already admitted that I'd have excused myself and left immediately.
But that's me. I'm not the prez.

That is way beyond incompetence..... that's total idiocy. Maybe 7
minutes
didn't matter this time... it might next time.... the fact of the matter
is
he did not act on his immediate responsibilites... and that's the crux of
it. He showed complacency then over-reacted. This is no leader... he is a
puppet and has proven incapable of thinking for himself.

This is truly flogging a very dead horse. This issue is so inconsequential,
and so demonstrative of the fact that Bush's enemies really have very little
to do but split hairts.

He is viewed globally as a simpleton and ridiculed for it. How blind can
his
acolytes be???

What are you talking about? He's viewed as a simpleton here, too. :-)

It's simple... he was put in power by business

So has virtually every president in history. Business money is the BIG
money. What you and I give doesn't feed the volunteers at the local party
headquarters.

[Bin Laden money as well]
...and now dances to their flute.

First off, you'd better do some investigation w/r/t the bin Laden family.
They, as a group, condem the actions of their rogue brother. They are
embarrassed by him. And their business has been irreparably injured by
their familial link with him. Only one of his sisters is sympathetic to
him, and has sent him money. And I doubt if she'd be willing to donate
money to ANY US presidential candidate. Secondly, most corporate sponsors,
which may or may not have included the bin Laden family, give nearly equal
amounts of money to both party's candidates. Microsoft does it. So does
IBM and most of big oil. The list is endless.
