i guess it's "hard work"

CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush worked nearly three hours at his Texas ranch on Thursday to design a new U.S. policy in Iraq , then emerged to say that he and his advisers need more time to craft the plan he'll announce in the new year.

Burdened by low approval ratings on his handling of the war, the president is under mounting pressure to come up with a new blueprint for U.S. involvement in Iraq where the execution of Saddam Hussein — perhaps as early as this weekend — could incite further violence.

Is the press really reporting this with a straight face? Three hours? As if that's a big deal? I suppose it is for bush - i doubt that he has thought that long about anything up until now - but for most people that is nothing. I spend more time on that organizing an office at work!

But I suppose i should be grateful that he is even thinking of doing anything more than just "staying the course".....
