Aha! Sadam had WMD because he USED them.

[Pukin Dog]

He wont let them see him sweat. Bush is completely in charge. Game, set, match.

[arasina]

That's just his way of speaking. Kerry points his fingers all the time; President Bush frequently uses ums and uhs. So what? The message still gets out.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Boom! Mentioning the level of intimidation still taking place in Iraq against those who worked on the WMD programs. This is a huge point that the media is hiding from Americans.

[CalKat]

Uh, you're the word parser -- I was quoting someone. It seems that for some reason you don't want to admit that people who enlisted in the service during the Clinton years actually loved their country. Whatever.

I DON'T PLAN ON LOSING MY JOB.

Woo hoo! What a great answer!

[Maigrey]

He had WMD because he used them.

Hey Gunn! Where's fred?

[NYC Republican]

LOLOL!

[Howlin]

You are part of the problem.

[MeekOneGOP]

God Bless President Bush !

[Molly Pitcher]

The press and tlking heads will pounce on this question and his answer: My God!! He doesn't question ANYTHING HE'S DONE!!!"

[Monty22]

Admitted to mistakes, and on the spot. BAD

[Ophiucus]

"I DON'T PLAN ON LOSING MY JOB."
Line of the night!!!

It was a good backslap to a disrespectful question, too.

[Edit35]

He's handling them well.

The President is striking just the right tone, and hitting all the right points.

He has a serious aura about him, because it is a serious subject.

These cretin reporters simply want a soundbite in which they can make the President look bad.

They want to be able to run back to their editors and say, Woopeee. Look what I made the President say.

[San Jacinto]

"Mr. President, some people say you are a wife beater. Why won't you stop beating Laura?What was the first beating you gave her? Will you now apologize?"

[Mo1]

Bush is putting the biased media on display tonight.

BINGO!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Here is a great opportunity to ask the President substantive questions of policy, and all this Oprah-generation press corps can do is ask questions about admitting mistakes, failures, apologies, etc. Blecch.

[altura]

Are our own airplanes weapons of mass destruction?

They worked pretty well that way.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Great answer to the question...what did you do wrong?

You could see the President really think about it...and then say, I would still go into Afghan as I did...I would still ask the world to deal with the threat of Saddam....
