I got caught by that serious hang-dog expression Dubya was wearing at his live news conference.
He'd just come from a briefing on the state of the "global war on Terra." Obviously said briefing held little to inspire joy. I expect all manner of grimness in the news tomorrow and he was here to get out in front of it.
It was a well executed conference, barring that one guy who'll never get anywhere near the White House again. He tried to get the first question, and the second, and based on the very visible attitude Dubya gave him third so he'd shut da fuk up.
This was an attempt to recast the "global war on Terra." Or maybe just to remind you, try to get those war-mones that gave hime the Presidence for the first time flowing once more. Or something.
And he had to do it...but god help him if Texas is really slapped around by the storm. You think he could say no to a request that the Texas National Guard come home? Yeah, he would have to, wouldn't he? And he has all the people prepositioned this time, and everyone evacuated this time, and I still look at how Florida all the people prepositioned those five times and I look at the Gulf Coast in the middle of that and ask, "Wha' hoppen?"
