The Meltdown

It was not a great day for President Bush with the press. There was frustration and some snapping dismay.

Pressed on why he opposed the idea of sending a large contingent of special forces to Pakistan to hunt bin Laden, Bush said his strategy was to work with Pakistan's government.

"First of all, Pakistan is a sovereign nation," Bush said. "In order for us to send thousands of troops into a sovereign nation, we've got to be invited by the government of Pakistan.

Yeah, as with Iraq. Silly me. Friday haiku time:

Bush is fighting back
The Washington Urban Myth
We are on the hunt

From sovereign nations
We now need invitations
To hunt Bin Laden

Funny how things change
The boogey man IS coming
Third Awakening
