Bush's Reality Check

摘要

Aboard air force one, on the way to ghicago, the talk turned to crop-dusters. George W. Bush mused aloud about how terrorism had turned a lowly form of aviation into a potentially lethal weapon. "Who would have thought of crop - dusters ?" he asked the congressmen sharing breakfast with him. Increased scrutiny of the dusters, which he ordered last week, might have its comical aspects. He imagined a Texas good ole boy accidentally flying over the presidential ranch in Crawford-only to be greeted by a screaming flight of F-16s. "That'll be one surprised Bubba!" Bush said with a laugh.
