. . . does he have to keep saying "Make no mistake about it..."?

Just kidding, Ed.

Agreed all round here. It is very possible the downed plane in Pennsylvania was aiming for the Capital, and just as possibly for Capital Hill. The purpose of the SS is to keep the CinC alive at all costs, and ducking that jet of his out of sight is one way to do it. The attacks are on situated on the East Coast, so we get the man west, ASAP. I have no problem with this. He has good people around him, and good people under him, and delegation is the only realistic way to run a catastrophe of this nature.

Still hating reporters in general,
