Just One Step Away From Plugging Ears & Humming

President G. W. Bush heard from the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He heard from the National Security Agency & the National Security Council. He heard from the leaders of both parties in the House and the Senate. He heard from the American people.

Then he made a little speechy-speech... in which he outlined a plan... that ignores everything everyone told him.

I disagree with people who characterize this action as that of a man with conviction.

This is the action of man who doesn't know when to let go.
