Its new to see it in any form of mainstream media though. But I cannot accept that Bush is wily and clever. The policy might be wily and clever but that doesn't mean Bush is. It just means that more wily brains than his are directing him - which has been the case all along. Someone else is pulling his strings - Cheney and Rove probably.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
