Some say his replacement has been in charge all along, Captain. But michaelr, this non-Bushite says Amen to kendall's prayer & believes that your post is a darkly-humored hyperbolic metaphor for your views.

I will suggest, however, that there's a potential legal issue here, passports aside. To wit: after the Pentagon's crack sharpshooters fired 40 cruise missiles at Saddam personally and missed, the White House declared that notwithstanding US laws prohibiting political assassination, a foreign head of state who is also commander-in-chief of hostile armed forces in wartime is a legitimate military "leadership target". Well. I'm not sure who is the Goose & who the Gander here, but I do hope our Prez doesn't get into the Sauce (so to speak) over in the County Antrim. Security should be VERY tight. Seriously.
