President Bush’s surprise visit to Baghdad last week reminded me of another trip to a disaster area. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina hit, the president flew to New Orleans where it took him no time to size up Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown as he proclaimed on national TV: “You’re doing a heckavu job, Brownie.”
Bush is well known for making snap decisions and his fondness for bestowing nicknames. In his whirlwind visit to Baghdad where he went to “size up the situation and the new prime minister” he undoubtedly said, “You’re doing a great job, Liki.”
