Did I ask you to prove anything to me? No, I didn't. I asked YOU to keep digging and prove it to YOURSELF. That is the only way YOU are going to be satisfied. I'm not the one upset about it, you are. I remember Bush stating something very smiliar during the campaign; obviously, you don't.

I spent almost two years watching the media distort Dr. Keyes' words; it was so bad, the campaign starting sending out copies of transcripts to volunteers so that anyone who didn't see his speech would know exactly what he said, in the context it was spoken, instead of the spin.

Don't dig for me, UJ. Dig for YOU.

If I have time tomorrow night, I'll dig around some more myself and hopefully give you what you need to resolve this issue. I've got two sick kiddos, so it's going to have to be after they are settled down for the night.

Happy 4th of July.

Dear UJ:

Decided to dig a little tonight, while I'm still awake. This is what I'm finding:

Reprint of Herald Article

The Monitor

Associated Press

Meeting with Congressional Leaders

Reprint of Boston Globe article where then CANDIDATE Bush specifically states war as an exception for running into deficit budgets

Let me know if your research comes back with anything additional.
