Q: Are you concerned that there was a report completed in February that apparently --

THE PRESIDENT: I haven't seen --

Q: -- Myers didn't know about yesterday --

THE PRESIDENT: Well, if Myers didn't know about it, I didn't know about it. In other words, he's part of the chain -- actually, he's not in the chain of command, but he's a high ranking official. We'll find out.

Q: The question is, should something causing --

THE PRESIDENT: I just need to know --

Q: -- concern, raised eyebrows --

THE PRESIDENT: Exactly. I think you'll find the investigation started quickly when they found out what was going on. What I need to know is what the investigators concluded.

1. Lt Bush does nto realize that the Joint Chief

of Staff Chairman IS in the chain of command?

Lemme see, this is how it works

CiC (Usually the President, Lt Bush aparently did not understand this, hence in this case it went down to the Veep)

Secretary of Defense

JCS Chairman and the Service Chiefs.

At times the under secretary can enter the mix.

I guess when Bush was in the Guard, not only was he incapable of finding Alabama for a year, but also the Chain of Command at the upper levels of Government

2. Bush is totally clueless.

hope the public realizes that this is why the WH couldn't prevent 9/11.
