After this disaster in New Orleans, and throughout the gulf our president would be wise to follow the example of Robert E Lee who, after Gettysburg, offered to resign his commission. A sincere act of humbleness may help Bush more than anything else right now. A speech similar in the style of Lee's letter to the President of the Confederacy would do wonders:
"I have been prompted by these reflections more than once since my return from Pennsylvania to propose to Your Excellency the propriety of selecting another commander for this army.... No one is more aware than myself of my inability for the duties of my position. I cannot even accomplish what I myself desire.... I, therefore, in all sincerity, request your Excellency to take measure to supply my place."
Fat chance. He's going to try to spin this until we all get seasick :butt:
