Grandpa, let's see if we can get some reasonable dialogue going here, may not be likely, but a couple old warhorses like us should be able to do it.
1. I don't know that I believe GW and Cheney meeting together is a sin, it is certainly unusual and for those who are predisposed to conspiracy theories, it certainly provides fodder for them.
2. My goal in complaining about it - First, it is understanding. There may be an excellent reason for it that I am missing. If there is not an excellent reason then I am pointing out that if our President can not stand alone in front of a Commission, how can we expect him to deal with the other, more dangerous issues that he must face?
3. One thing I am pretty certain about - I do not blame GW for 9/11. I don't think that any Prez could have prevented 9/11. Let me go one step further. I thought GW reacted to 9/11 with grace under pressure and provided leadership that was desperately needed. Clearly his best moment.
4. I prefer not to fight over rotten meat.

So, I hope that the GW supporters on this board can provide the answers I seek. I am hoping that you can be more convincing than Scott McClellan (sp.?) was. Can you hear me now?
