I just read this, I realize this info has already been out for a while, but I thought some of you might find it interesting.

What really gets me is not that, but what was printed in my paper a few weeks ago..
Seems that Bush hasn't gone to *ANY* Funerals of Military Perrsonell lost in the Iraqi war. Something all other presidents have done when they asked our service men to go fight for the country.
The reason given was "They didn't want ay photographs of Bush next to a coffin."
Me.

this info has already been out for a while
I find it interesting that the general "excuse" offered is that nobody could have conceived of the notion of suicide pilots crashing airliners into public buildings.
Tom Clancy wrote a book, released in paperback in 1997, in hardback before that I think, called "Executive Orders". Here is a snippet of Amazon's review:
Tom Clancy goes to the White House in this thriller of political terror and global disaster. The American political situation takes a disturbing turn as the President, Congress, and Supreme Court are obliterated when a Japanese terrorist lands a 747 on the Capitol.
"Inconceivable!"

MIRACLE MAX:
"He probably owes you money, huh? Well, I'll ask him."
INIGO:
"He's dead. He can't talk."
MIRACLE MAX:
"Look who knows so much. Well, it just so happens that your friend here is only mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.
Now, mostly dead is slightly alive. Now, all dead...well, with all dead, there's usually only one thing that you can do."
INIGO:
"What's that?"
MIRACLE MAX:
"Go through his clothes and look for loose change."

Ditto.

Apparently, I'm Count Rugen. Hmmm. You can't be. I've met you, and you have the standard number of digits.
But... Prepare To Die anyway.

I am The Albino apparently, but my memory of the Princess Bride is too hazy to remember exactly how good (or bad) that is!!

He was played by Mel Smith, so that's good.

I do remember it as one of Mel's more attractive roles, so I guess that can make up for any dubious character traits he may have had!!
