Bryson v Russert

Since Meet the Press was about the 9/11 commission I decided to forego today's episode and instead start a new book. Obviously the President needs to start pressuring Congress to get moving on the recommendations. Do people really think there is some disagreement between Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush on this? If their relationship has been characterized as anything it definitely has not been dissent. According to Bush we have eliminated 75% of Al Qaeda and are well on the way to winning the war on terror. I guess we should think about abolishing the department of defense altogether.

The book I am reading is Bill Bryson's "History of Nearly Everything". I'll write more about it next week.
