Bush Clueless

Check this breaking story in the New York Times which reports that a 2005 a military operation to "snatch and grab" high ranking Al Qaeda terrorists was called off by then SecDef Rumsfeld.

Say what you will about the relative merits of the operation, this is the sentence that really caught my eye:

It is unclear whether President Bush was informed about the planned operation.

So here's the deal: top level US officials are contemplating an operation into a sovereign state, Pakistan- to capture some bad guys AND W IS KEPT IN THE DARK BY HIS OWN PEOPLE.

I remember when the military tried to pull of that rescue operation of our hostages in Iran. Totally FUBAR'd, but Jimmy Carter stood up and took the weight. As they say in college courses, "compare and contrast this with W's behavior".

How many people in America are making a short-timers chain for this administration?
