Let all of the "Hand wringing Grannies" out there know:

the easiest way to dishonor our troops is to let their work go unfulfilled

[Havoc]

No, I came to present an issue and get a kneejerk response from the party faithful to show fellow citizens put out of work by slave labor what my party thinks of them. Couldn't get free traders to come to me so I brought the audience to my party in general. They're seeing the full discussion elsewhere too - which isn't much better. Ya'll even mischaracterized why it was done. People appreciate being real. Ya'll were just real. And by golly, that gets votes.

A stable and free society in Iraq? That place has been the opposite of that for thousands of years.

[areafiftyone]

He said Brown Skin. Are we going to see racial profiling headlines tomorrow? ;-)

[olde north church]

Brown skinned people have a desire to be free! Not just votes ala DNC

[Semper Paratus]

Don't lose heart, many Americans are seeing the the press in action against the President while brave men and women are dying.

I predict, if they do use that headline Bush refuses to Appologizes, it will backfire massively. Folks simply will not stand for it IMO.

[Greg Weston]

Yeah I know hundreds of dead fighting Americans being Iraq street cops sent by stupid neo-CONS isn't funny. I agree.

[mombonn]

Why are you and VP Cheney meeting jointly? Jerks.

Why not separately per their request?

[TomasUSMC]

A peaceful country in the middle east that wants to be free will not be able to stay peaceful. They will have to fight Iran and Syria.

[Peach]

For a long time now. You'll have freepmail soon.

[Revel]

It would also do him good to turn the message of "But you did not find any weapons of mass destruction" and "your intell was wrong"....Into...What difference would it have made in regards to our security. We had to pour the draino into the bowl of Terrorism where it was building up and organizing to hit us again with even more force. The threat of Sadam's weapons of mass destruction are small in comparrison to the threat of those who were deaviously training and preparing to destroy us. That is why we had to go.

You blame me by saying that I did not take action before 911...Now you are blaming me for taking action to prevent another 911.

That is the kind of message that the American people take to heart. I know...I have used it on them myself.

[cajungirl]

This is a fine night for him and a sad night for us. Our press is trying to destroy him.

[TalentOnLoan]

I pray for a reporter that says, "Mr. President, THANK YOU for your leadership. What is on YOUR mind?"

[altura]

Snotty question about why appearing before commission with Cheney.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

That's something else I don't miss. Remember in the last few months of the Clinton administration China used to threaten us two and sometime three times a week. Don't hear that much anymore.

[cyncooper]

Mike Allen from the WaPo

Why are you insisting on appearing with VP Cheney

because they want to ask us questions and we want to answer

LOL

But why together? Because they have questions.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[tgslTakoma]

They are all incredible jerks with the questions they are posing. Here's a very good chance for them to ask questions that the people in America are asking, and they can't get beyond their personal dislike for the president to ask them without inserting the insults and insinuations.

I am so glad I don't watch network news anymore.

[MEG33]

Clarke apology..do you feel a need to apologize..He commisserates but says Osama's responsibility..

CNN asks dumb question about our allies and guards.Bush talks and hears resolve by our allied leaders..the insurgents want us to leave and we are not going to..a free Iraq will be vital.
Why are Cheney and you meeting together.Doesn't bite.
