Officials, who "would only discuss the senior executives' memo on condition of anonymity because it remain{ed} classified," reported that the August 7, 2001, brief did not mention:
"70 FBI investigations into possible al-Qaida activity that the president had been told of a day earlier in a top-secret memo titled Bin Laden Determined To Strike in U.S.



But to involve himself in the tragic personal Schiavo family matter he cut his vacation short and comes running back to Washington to make his wing nut base happy?

Supporters Praise Bush's Swift Return to Washington

WASHINGTON, March 20 - For days, President Bush kept his public distance from the Terri Schiavo case and let his spokesman deliver mild statements suggesting that the president did not want Ms. Schiavo, who has severe brain damage, to die. But on Saturday night, when Mr. Bush made the rare decision to interrupt his Texas vacation and rush back to Washington to be in place to sign a bill that could restore Ms. Schiavo's feeding tube, the White House said that the issue had become one of "defending life," and that time was of the essence.


And the Dem's haven't thought of making this one of their most often used talking points? WTF? No Dem should ever appear on TV and not mention this as often as possible. The Dem's need to exploit easy to understand issues like this. This is the kind of thing that will get Bush's poll numbers into the teens if used correctly.
