Hiding out on Texas, licking his bleeding, political, mostly self-inflicted wounds.
Just like him; when the nation needs to hear from their President on the war, the present insurrection raging in Iraq and Condi's fumbling testimony, the Prez hunkers down in Texas, mute, like a puppet whose master has withdrawn his hand (if you get my drift).

Even better, where's Dick (Cheney)? (The hand)

Why the deafening silence from the White House?

Where's the Prez?

Yah, but Blair does not have a full blown war blossoming on his doorstep nor questions being asked about his competence nor any real fear of being attacked, like us in the US.

With both of them away from their posts, and me understanding this is Easter week where a person might want to "Get away", how convienient is it that both of them are "out of town"?

What do they know...and how long have they known it?

I heard he was on the phone. Trying to call Germany, France and Russia. Apparently the line is busy and the answering machines disconnected.

Mabe the U.S. Congress should begin serving, "french fries" again. That may signal our allies that we forgive them for wanting to slow that march to war down. Mabe a bit of postwar planning would have been in order, no?

And people wonder about Kerry. Would he do anything worse? I can't imagine.

President Bush Marks Easter With Families of Soldiers Serving in Iraq

President Bush says American forces will remain tough in the face of continuing violence in Iraq.

Events in Iraq were very much on the president's mind as he marked Easter Sunday in his home state of Texas.

For the second year in a row, he spent part of the holiday at Fort Hood, a military base a short helicopter flight from the Bush family ranch.

He knelt in prayer at a base chapel with the families of soldiers serving in Iraq. As he left the Easter morning service, the president met briefly with reporters. He told them he prayed for the troops.

"...and today, on bended knee, I thanked the good lord for protecting those of our troops overseas and our coalition troops and innocent Iraqis, who suffer at the hands of some of these senseless killings by people who are trying to shake our will," said Mr. Bush.

Mr. Bush acknowledged the bloodshed of recent days in Iraq, saying violent gangs were to blame. He was asked if America should brace for more casualties.

"It was a tough week last week," he acknowledged. "And my thoughts and prayers are with those who paid the ultimate price for our security. A free Iraq can make the world more peaceful."

The president said it was hard to tell if the violence would diminish after a week that saw battles between Sunni and Shi'ite militants on one hand, and American forces on the other. At the same time, there have been several kidnappings in Iraq, including three Japanese civilians.

Mr. Bush said members of Iraq's interim Governing Council are trying to see if they can bring some order to the city of Fallujah, the site of some of the worst fighting. He said the American military is giving them a chance to do so.

The president spoke shortly before visiting with wounded soldiers who recently returned to Fort Hood from Iraq. More than 20,000 troops stationed at the base are now deployed on Iraqi soil.

So is Bush going to re-enlist and serve out the rest of his Guard time over in Iraq?
