Go read DU, or listen to a few of the Dem candidates. Bush does the most good right now reassuring people that we won't be there forever. People being people, they are going to feel better if we have a specific out date.

Seriously. No one needs be told that the sun will rise tomorrow. Here, the Administration wanted to reassure someone that it wasn't panicking. Which is good, because people who really are panicking often aren't in a position to reassure others.

I think maybe you take this too far. I suspect that, while one might
want to answer the reporter's question of "are you guys panicking?" with "oh, you stupid son of a . . . ", people in high positions tend to be more diplomatic than I, and so, probably, sigh, and say "no, we're not panicking".
