I'm more concerned about individual politics of high ranking military intelligence officers effecting the way they fo their jobs than I am about naming boats. I know that a lot of people who are in charge of gathering intel in order to protect us from real threats are still Bush supporters and that could lead them to look in the wrong place (Iraq, circa 2002) for threats and ignore actual threats (North Korea, the Texas governor's mansion). Partisian polarization always effects us negatively.
That being said, I hope that the USS Goerge W. Bush is a submarine with a screen door.
