One good hole deserves another

Asked "What is your greeting to Saddam Hussein?" George Bush responded gamely:

The world is better off without you, Mr. Saddam Hussein. And I find it very interesting that when the heat got on you dug yourself a hole and you crawled in it.

Just one little thing. On Sept. 11 2001, when he got word the country was under attack, Bush didn't exactly charge into battle. He skedaddled off to a SAC base in Nebraska, where command centers are underground in hardened bunkers. A little more elaborate than Hussein's redoubt, but still a hole in the ground.
