Chimpy's defensive posture on missing explosives

Josh Marshall points out :

We've now gone two days without President Bush making any comment at all about the al Qaqaa business. As the Times notes, the president twice ignored reporters' questions on the topic yesterday.

Will Wednesday be number three?

It's an oddly defensive stance less than a week before an election.

Consider this from the NYT :

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 26 - Senator John Kerry lambasted President Bush on Tuesday over the disappearance in Iraq of a huge cache of powerful explosives, saying the president's response to "devastating facts'' about the explosives called into question his competence as commander in chief.

Mr. Kerry said the White House had first tried to conceal those facts until after Election Day, then minimized them when they emerged and finally denied them.

"And what did the president have to say about the missing explosives? Not a word. Complete silence,'' Mr. Kerry bellowed in Green Bay, Wis., all but daring Mr. Bush to answer him.

"Mr. President, what else are you being silent about?'' he asked. "What else are you keeping from the American people? How much more will the American people have to pay?''

For the second day Mr. Bush did not speak about the issue, twice ignoring questions from reporters.

he doesn't have to answer questions or be responsible, he's the President. He just has to put his head in the sand and say he knows where they are, "Of course I know where they are, just like I know Bin Laden attacked us, duh."


All Hat no substance.

Because none of their excuses make them look a lot better.

WHY DIDN'T YOU BOMB OR GUARD THE BUNKER W?

Maybe George's internal polls show that the American people as sick of his weaseling and shirking of responsibilities.

so it is best to keep quiet and hope Rove can change the subject.
