Target: Bush

Bush To Stay On USS Abraham Lincoln As It Returns To California
WASHINGTON 4.25.03, 8:51a -
President Bush will travel to California next week to talk about the economy and national security and spend the night on an aircraft carrier as it returns from the war in Iraq, the White House announced Friday. Bush will fly to San Diego and make a speech Thursday aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been at sea for nearly nine months, longer than any U.S. carrier group now on duty. On Friday, he will leave the ship and travel to Santa Clara, where he will make remarks on the economy and national security. "He will depart the ship Friday morning prior to its pulling into port," said White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. "That way the families can be reunited as quickly as possible without delay."

I kinda wish the press wouldn't announce stuff like this to the world, so that some terrorist group can then target the carrier. No, no, I'm not concerned about Bush; I'm concerned about Cheney getting full control of the Administration once Bush is vaporized. No, no, I know Cheney "really" runs things, but there is currently that protracted delay in implementation while Bush must listen to Cheney's orders, find his way around the West Wing corridors (or around the telephone speed-dial buttons) to "give his" orders, and then remember what to say. There is always the chance that Cheney's pacemaker could short out during one of those delays.
