Let's put it in more basic terms. Let's say you own a business, felsha and you are away from the business that day at meetings. The building that your business is in has a devastating fire and you get a phone call at your meeting telling you about it. What do you do? 1) Continue on with your meeting and figure that the managers that you hired have it all under control and you don't have to do anything. 2) Excuse yourself from your meeting and find out what's going on and what YOU need to do to? Seems pretty cut and dried to me. Bush chose the wrong answer IMO.
