So Many Crisies, So Little Time
Nice little laundry list on the Shrubster :7
Did they miss anything?

In recent months, President Bush and his senior aides have often appeared to be on the defensive as they responded to a series of bombshells and mini-crises, some of their own making:

July 18, 2003: White House press secretary Ari Fleischer concedes that Bush made a false claim in his State of the Union address six months earlier when he said Iraq had tried to buy yellow cake uranium from Niger to make nuclear weapons.

Aug. 29, 2003: Less than four months after Bush said major combat operations were over in Iraq, the number of U.S. soldiers killed in postwar violence reaches 139, exceeding the total who died before May 1. Subsequent violence and rising American casualties prompt continuing questions about the administration's postwar planning.

Sept. 28, 2003: Justice Department begins probe of allegations that the White House leaked the name and CIA employment of the wife of a former U.S. ambassador, Joseph Wilson, who had criticized the Bush administration on Iraq. A grand jury is set up to probe possible criminal wrongdoing.
