Colin, surely you realize that my use of the Roosevelt example was to demonstrate the degree of agitation the president felt regarding the criticism the reporter was heaping on him, and had nothing to do with any "admiration" that Roosevelt felt for him. It was simply an example of what Roosevelt endured in a time of a war of far greater magnitude and far more clear-cut causes than the current situtation.

Further, nobody said respect was simple-minded bullshit. Perhaps bullshit was too harsh a word, so allow me to rephrase it. I think that the idea that extra deference should be paid to the President in time of war is erroneous. If folks in the 40s felt free to criticize Roosevelt for a war that was thrust upon him, and in fact criticize him for not being prepared for the war that some of the same critics wouldn't allow him to prepare for (stating facts without regard to parties here), I feel no compulsion to be bound by a higher standard today.

While I doubt this has anything to do with your feelings on the matter, I realize that in the Orano environment it is very politically incorrect to say anything negative about this President or this war. That's okay ... I've been politically incorrect all my life. Any objectives for this war that extend beyond disarming Saddam Hussein are the material of fantasy and pipedream. I suspect this President is going to pay dearly when the piper's bill comes due.
