In my view this is the classic 'spin treatment'. Bush knew, Bush didn't know. Bush knew some. Kick all the above around a few thousand times and the b/s potion kicks in.

No one will really know what happened and in the end no on will care. As a matter of fact outside of NOLA this whole story is pretty much a yawner.

The American public has the attention span of a two hour made for TV movie. If it can't be solved in two hours, oh well its not worth the trouble and its time to move on.
