Despite the fact that the Bin Laden desk was "running around with their hair on fire all summer", I'm sure there were about 1000 other teams also competing for Bush's time and his staff had to make some judgments. As I've said in the past, I think he made a serious judgment error by letting Rice call the agenda and not doing it himself - some things you don't outsource - but Bush even describes himself as a "decider" not a strategist. Further the barriers between all of the intelligence & law enforcement agencies had been there for years and, again, only an exceptional leader would've went after them. Obama isn't either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
