Hmmmm.... InOBU, I cant say I've been greatly impressed by Bush, nor was I by his Father when he was in Office... I'm with McGrath when he says that he would feel better were Colin Powell in charge.

My point is, however, that I think you are maybe judging GWB a little harshly when you suggest that he is a 'part-time President. For all he doesnt LOOK good to me, if you see what I mean, I think he has shown good judgement in the last day or so, under what might seem to be heavy pressure from public opinion to strike back swiftly.

He does well to wait & let more & more backing & International support come flooding in.

(Just the opinion of one Brit who probably doesnt know enough about Bush to be entitled to comment)
