Deflect! Deflect! Deflect!

Gotta look Presidentialish:

President Bush on Friday called on the United Nations to convene quickly to deal with a U.N. investigative report implicating Syrian officials in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

“The report strongly suggests that the politically motivated assassination could not have taken place without Syrian involvement,” Bush said after helping dedicate a new pavilion at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Southern California.

The U.N. report, which Bush called “deeply disturbing,” established a link between high-ranking Syrian officials and their Lebanese allies in Hariri’s murder Feb. 14 in Beirut.

Let’s be honest here, George Bush probably couldn’t have picked Rafik Hariri out of a lineup of New York City cabbies, but he’s got to look like he’s doing something in the Middle East. Perhaps Bush can look into this:

Lance Cpl. Norman W. Anderson III, 21, of Parkton, Md., died Oct. 19 from a suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device while conducting combat operations against enemy forces in Karabilah, Iraq.

I hear there is a link between Anderson being in Karabilah and high-ranking American officials who lied about why we went to war.

Somebody should check that out…
