Reply #1: "People have come back with answers"

[gratuitous]

And we all know that the Bush administration's knee-jerk reaction to ideas they don't want to hear is "Wrong answer, try again." And keep at it until they find someone as loony as they are to endorse whatever hare-brained scheme they wanted to follow all along. So Bush will want more and more opinions and answers until someone comes along and says, "Do whatever it is you have in mind, O Anointed One of God." At which point all communication stops, and another million or so people can start digging their graves.
