Isn't this what Clinton did when he visited Rwanda after the genocide? 
Certainly by no means a very good analogy--and not at all to minimize the 
much greater atrocity in Rwanda--except for the way that chicken shit 
presidents handle visits to the areas their bumbling leadership had a hand 
in destroying.

yeah me too.  but his press conference a few minutes ago, where he spent the 
first minute trying to remember something that had been done and then summed 
it up by saying that the "results aren't acceptable" and he was going down 
to NO to take control--as if he had nothing to do with it until 
now...certainly confused and removed sum him up.
