"I have never understood why Bush is so fond of people who hate him and so indifferent to his allies."
Might have something to do with the old saw about "Hold your friends close, and your enemies even closer".
Do have to admit a certain grim desire to either watch Bush open a can of whupass on them or just put out a call for volunteers to hold a two-week dungaree liberty on everything inside the beltway. (Oh, PLEASE let it be the latter..........)
