Make me puke
I can't believe this came out of a President's mouth:
We've known for years now that George W. Bush received a presidential daily briefing on Aug. 6, 2001, in which he was warned: "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." We've known for almost as long that Bush went fishing afterward.
What we didn't know is what happened in between the briefing and the fishing, and now Suskind is here to tell us. Bush listened to the briefing, Suskind says, then told the CIA briefer: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."
I don't know if you can translate that any other way than "So when the terrorists do hit us, and I don't lift a finger to stop it, at least you can say you warned me."
This makes me want to hit something. How dare this guy claim to be a commander-in-chief and say something like that.
