Bush hopes for a still-birth

Bush Says Leader May Not Be Found in CIA-Iraq Probe

Bush said he did not know whether a federal criminal investigation, begun after a request by the CIA, would find who leaked the name of Valerie Plame to a number of different media outlets in Washington.

Oh? And then what, el Presidente? We're just supposed to drop it? Sounds like someone's trying to sew the seeds of public expectation for a failed investigation.

"Oh, well. They didn't find out who did it. What are you gonna do?!"

Hmm, that sounds familiar. Ah, yes, it's the great incuriousness and lack of follow-through that is the hallmark of the Bush administration!

Anyone remember that bin Laden guy? And whatever happened to that Saddam dude?

Ooh, look, shiny object!
