WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) played down on Saturday a stark warning from his resigning health chief that the nation's food supply is largely unprotected from terror attack.






Bush said that the government is doing what it can to safeguard the public from threats, but much work remains.


"We're a large country, with all kinds of avenues where somebody could inflict harm," said Bush, asked about the issue after an Oval Office meeting with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. "We've made a lot of progress in protecting our country, and there's more work to be done, and this administration is committed to doing it."

3. I think Tommy is a lot like Powell and is an outsider in the old cabinet

Trying to put a big smiley face on something they knew was seriously messed up and couldn't fix because of an arrogant boss.

4. Couple of comments...

First: Of course Bush is going to downplay it. All bad news is downplayed by Bush.

Second: Thanks Mr. Thompson, for giving terrorists ideas. You KNOW Bush won't do jack to stop it, so why give them suggestions?
