Sully's "What If" Moments

60 Minutes did a piece on Flight 1549 and its pilot Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and crew. They even reunited them with the 150 surviving passengers. Very moving piece.

The one thing that struck me was Sully's grief days after the successful water landing. He said he was sleepless, going through "what if" scenarios. This, after what is considered a heroic event, with millions-to-one odds. I thought, what a real professional guy. Always trying to improve.

Then I though of the neo-cons and their massive failures in promoting their false myths and corrupt agendas over the past 30 years. They were 100% wrong in most cases, losing thousands of lives.

Did they ever have sleepless nights?
