All of the evidence obliterates your bizarre claims that Bush "opposed" arming pilots. LOL....Of course. Virtually everyone connected with airline security in his cabinet opposes, he says there are better ways and the evidence is all for his support....
What's missing, however, is any evidence to contradict what I said at the very first (that you would at BEST only be able to show non-Bush sources claiming that Bush opposed arming pilots).
The fact that you wish to ignore his underlings opposition to the bill was not really representative of his views.
But this should lay it all to rest for anyone with any intellecutal honesty:
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said President Bush is unlikely to support the idea. Bush plans to follow the advice of administration officials, Fleischer said, "and the recommendation of the experts is that this not proceed." Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge and Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta oppose arming pilots.
Aren't you embarrrassed yet? It's not missing. You are simply ignoring the evidence.

And yet, Bush DID support the idea (he signed the two bills into law, after all) and the idea did go ahead (especially after Magaw, who seemed to oppose it, was fired by Bush) and the idea DID proceed (who knows, maybe Ari was not completely on-message with Bush for once).
But it is YOU who can't show Bush saying that he was against it (which makes sense, since Bush signed that pro-gun bill and one other into law, after all).
