Ironic seeing Iraq war hecklers getting removed from the Petraeus hearing today while these questions were being asked of Tony Snow during his White House press briefing:

Q Is it really necessity, or is it the President just being stubborn and standing on what he believes?
and

Q How many people have we killed in the last year?

And this from “Helen,” no last name given:

Q Why did we send a B-52 carrying nuclear weapons from South Dakota to Louisiana, jeopardizing America?

Good thing Snow answered, “My goodness. I don’t have an answer for that,” instead of going the helping-the-New-Orleans-police-after-Katrina route.

Of course, anyone who thinks America was jeopardized should heed General Buck Turgidson:

If the pilot’s good, see, I mean if he’s reeeally sharp, he can barrel that baby in so low… oh you oughta see it sometime. It’s a sight. A big plane like a ‘52… varrrooom! Its jet exhaust… frying chickens in the barnyard!
