Not lost, but misplaced. No one really thinks that Dubya should have
leapt to the front lines as soon as danger reared its head (though that
might have been nice), but he should have addressed the nation much more
promptly than he did, and he could have done so easily without exposing
himself to danger or disclosing his location. Instead, Dubya had to wait
until he was informed of his opinion the matter, and then he had to wait
until his speechwriters could pen something with words small enough for him
to read on camera.
