Merely initiating an inquiry does not necessarily qualify as a witch hunt.

I thank you for your evaluation and your response. I think your general take on the subject of witch hunts is that if “there is no ‘there’ there”, it’s a witch hunt — and I tend to agree. And if there is any evidence that wrongdoing has been committed, it deserves follow-up — and if the follow-up doesn’t clear it, it deserves investigation.

I understand your view, missmolly, and I wholeheartedly agree.
In this day and age of instant communications, there is no reason to further confuse the issue by bringing in more commotion and confusion to an already disastrous situation.
I’m sure most people affected by the fires don’t give a rats ass about Bush, and will probably resent his obvious political pandering.
75% or better in this nation recognize George Bush for the incompetent fool he has always been, and more and more will begin to ignore him and his utterances.

No, no — although I know what you mean, and I assure you I feel your pain.

I was talking about ANY president (since disasters tend to occur during every president’s term). If Bush and Cheney resigned or were removed from office, this would still apply to President Nancy Pelosi.

Presidential visits are an inconvenience no matter who the president is, and any president would be in the way in the middle of a disaster.

Heckuva job, Dubbie!

Nailed it.

Stay warm Juan, sound’s like bundeling time……Blessings

But I have absolutely no interest in being subjected to the spectacle of the Chimp-in-Chief playing dress-up in his fireman costume (complete with Presidential Seal), giggling and grinning about the brushfires here:

“Heheh – you’ve got a lot of burned stuff here! Heheh – cleared the brush bettern’ I could! Heheheh!”

And then inflicting more of that “state and local” crap upon us.

Blech. He should stay home.

The scary thing with this is iit is a lose-lose scenario. If we back Turkey, the Kurds have a lot of friends in the international community, and we would be wreaking havoc on the only stable part of Iraq. If we back the kurds, we stand to lose a very important supply route through Turkey that would adversely affect our troops in northern Iraq.

Just send money.

Thank you.

You raise an interesting point — and a good one. Why is it that we always insist our president visit disaster areas? It doesn’t matter who the president is, the logistics of presidential travel requires a lot of resources just for security alone. In a disaster area, this can seriously impede efforts to mitigate the disaster or its effects.

Of course, I expect the president to care about 9/11, about Katrina, about the wildfires, and about any disaster affecting the American people. And if I was the president, my first inclination in the face of a disaster would be to rush to the area affected, survey the damage, and reassure the people.

But in order to keep operations running as smoothly as possible, I think we need to find another way for the president to show his concern.

What do we have to fear now? :)

Good morning to you too. I am freezing my ass. 4 °C (or 40 °F) here.

Turkey: US will not stop Iraq incursion
