Bush convinience?

One of our strong Iraq allies gets bombed by Russia. Is it odd that Bush made sure to be out of town? Sort of like going on vacation and letting Cheney handle the problems after 9/11. It seems to me, a responsible leader would get his ass home and help the allies that helped him, but I have my doubts.

Dear Huck,
If the President ran back to the White House every time a major or minor event occurred, then terrorists and every other mischievous leader would try to manipulate the Presidents Comings and goings.
First point: The President has everything he needs on the Air Force One, whether he's he's in Crawford, Beijing or DC, and I'm sure you know that is true! Which is why it was silly that the remarks about his "Vacation" when Katrina hit were folly.
Second point: If Bush needs the Congress, (who are also on vacation), to convene he can call an emergency session assuming he can get Nancy Pelosito break away from her whirlwind BAKE (I mean Book), Sale; and the Republicans already have members in DC trying to get drilling going, and Pelosi is turning out the lights.
Thirdly; The President is on an international diplomatic mission and anything short of another 9/11 or Iranian Nuclear Launch he should stay in China. Unless of course if we find out the Johnny Edwards actually did have an affair, then the President should consider aborting his diplomatic mission; but I'm sure that won't happen......Or will it?
