Powell, Jeb Bush to lead U.S. team (Tsunami Relief)
http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/asiapcf/12/30/tsunami.powellvisit/

CRAWFORD, Texas (CNN) -- -- A U.S. delegation headed by Secretary of State Colin Powell and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, brother of President George W. Bush, will travel to southern Asia Sunday to assess humanitarian needs, a White House spokesman said Thursday.

Their itinerary will be set by the State Department, deputy White House spokesman Trent Duffy told reporters.



In explaining why Jeb Bush was chosen to make the trip, Bush's statement said, "He has extensive experience in the state of Florida with relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts."

5. Exactamento! But he doesn't think we're dumb. He just thinks we have
no power. And he's right.

3. Grooming him to look "Presidential"
That's my take on it

lots of others have experience

James Lee Witt for one would be a superstar to go there!

4. Of all the 50 governors of the US, why is this big head Bush chosen?
Nepotism! And why Powell? I thought he was leaving?
