This amusing little anecdote has been floating around the blogosphere today:
Meeting last month at a sweltering U.S. base outside Doha, Qatar, with his top Iraq commanders, President Bush skipped quickly past the niceties and went straight to his chief political obsession: Where are the weapons of mass destruction? Turning to his Baghdad proconsul, Paul Bremer, Bush asked, �Are you in charge of finding WMD?� Bremer said no, he was not. Bush then put the same question to his military commander, General Tommy Franks. But Franks said it wasn�t his job either. A little exasperated, Bush asked, So who is in charge of finding WMD? After aides conferred for a moment, someone volunteered the name of Stephen Cambone, a little-known deputy to Donald Rumsfeld, back in Washington. Pause. �Who?� Bush asked.
I should have some mildly exciting news to post tomorrow. Stay tuned.
