...Missouri), ordinarily one of Bush’s main adversaries, told CNN’s John King, “I think the president, the vice president, secretary of state, are undertaking a very complicated, and, frankly, fitting type of response to this.” Ultra-liberal AFL-CIO President John J. Sweeney has also voiced his support for Bush, and he openly backed any U.S. military retaliation that might take place.
