At 5:47, toward the end of Bush's shameful talking-points session, Bob Deans from Cox News Service stood up and asked:

Millions of Americans can recall a time when leaders from both parties set this country on a mission of regime change in Vietnam. 50,000 Americans died; the regime is still there in Hanoi, and it hasn't harmed or threatened a single American in 30 years since the war ended. What can you say tonight to the sons and daughters of the Americans who served in Vietnam to assure them that you will not lead this country down a similar path in Iraq?

As Deans said "30 years since", there was a noise from Bush's podium. It sounded to me like a derisive snort. To be charitable, perhaps Bush had fallen asleep and woke himself up after he began to snore -- I can't be sure, because NBC's camera was fixed on the reporter. Did anyone see Bush at that moment? 06:15PM «
