Excerpt from today's briefing:
Helen: Ari, since there is an atmosphere of the imminence of war in this White House, and since we have no direct access to the President, will you state for the record, for the historical record, why he wants to bomb Iraqi people?
MR. FLEISCHER: Helen, I dispute the premise of your question, first of all. There's regular -- there's regular access to the President. The President is asked questions all the time. And when the President --
Helen: He hasn't had a press conference for months.
MR. FLEISCHER: And when 14 of your colleagues spend 36 minutes asking scores of questions to the President just two days ago --
Helen: Well, that's not a news conference.
MR. FLEISCHER: -- they asked the President a similar question, although they phrased it a little differently than you did. They asked the President why does he feel so strongly about the need to use force, if it comes to that, to disarm Saddam Hussein. And the answer from the President was that, given the fact that the world changed on September 11th, the threat to the American people was brought immediately to our home and to our shores and to our families, the President thinks it is in the interest of peace to make certain that Saddam Hussein does not have weapons of mass destruction which he can use against us, either by transferring them to terrorists or using them himself.
Helen: There is no imminent threat.
MR. FLEISCHER: This is where -- Helen, if you were President you might view things differently. But you have your judgment and the President has others.
Helen: Why doesn't he prove it? Why don't you lay it out? When have they threatened in the last 12 years?
MR. FLEISCHER: They have attacked their neighbors. They have gassed their own people.
Helen: Twelve years ago.
MR. FLEISCHER: They have launched attacks.
Helen: With our support.
MR. FLEISCHER: And September 11th showed the United States is vulnerable to those who would attack us. And one of the best ways to protect the homeland is to go after the threats abroad.
Helen: You haven't linked terrorism to Saddam Hussein, in terms of 9/11.
MR. FLEISCHER: It's not -- the threat is what took place on 9/11. You don't have to make a direct linkage between Saddam Hussein and 9/11 to know that others who are planning can try to do it again, Saddam Hussein included.
These people are flipping out now that the American people have woken up to their fifty years of abuse of the government and media. They will stop at nothing to retake the Presidency and the Congress. Nothing.

I think he's saving that for when the real shooting starts.
;-)
Yeah, that's what he wants to do, Helen. GWB is just itching to kill Iraqis, the more innocent the better. No, he wants to kill the children, that's just the kind of guy he is.
Wait a minute, I was thinking of someone else, like a president who bombed maternity hospitals in 1999, killing scores of newborn babes and their moms without a peep from the Helen Thomases, the Babs Streisands, Janeane Garofalos, Mike Farrells ... hmmm, who am I thinking of?
And whatever they pay Helen is a waste of francs.
And you're not a journalist, Helen.
You're and old dried up hag who should be at home learning to bake cookies. Although, I'm sure you couldn't get the hang of that.
No, that would be cruel to everyone near her.
They would have to take rabies shots.
