President Bush's new conference regarding current events

[Wyatt's Torch]

I don't think Reagan ever did anything this brave or this critical.

You might want to review your history about Mr. Reagan. Just look at the Reykjavik summit as just a small example of the HUGE bravery he expressed in that meeting.

Mr. Bush is a great leader but Mr. Reagan was one of the worlds greatests.

[Otta B Sleepin]

When W is this serious, he is most committed. The game is over even if the Security Counsel doesn't yet get it.

I think so, too. This is a moment for gravity and solemnity. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to be revving folks up when we're right on the brink of war. He's going to do the right thing, no matter what.

No more chances for Saddam.

Bush is using every question to launch another stanza of a ..well, as someone as already put it, a eulogy. Very powerful...very somber...sober...thoughtful....simply excellent, in my view

[NittanyLion]

What was his answer? all he said is that North Korea is a regional issue, to be handled multilaterally? But he didn't explain why that should be so with North Korea, but not with Iraq.

Iraq presents an immediate threat by way of terrorist attacks; North Korea presents a longer-term threat that will have to be dealt with, but all in good time...

[yield 2 the right]

Pres. Bush is giving good "A"s to the press's "Q"s!

that incessant ticking needs to turn into a BOOM!

[Mo1]

I can't believe he went on national TV to say the same thing he has been saying for 9 months

Not everyone are Freepers and know what has been going on .. plus the media hasn't been much help in getting the message out

Tonight ALL the networks are tuned in

[OXENinFLA]

Bush "I wish Saddam had listened........"

[maestro]

**This speech isn't to us; it's to them.**

Tick-Tick-Tick.........Ticking!!!

[Spruce]

His body-language is not good. Something is wrong.

[AdA$tra]

It's 37 degrees here in VA Beach. How's it in your part of the world?

37.1F Degrees here in Topeka, Kansas. Ice storm Tuesday. 17 for a high yesterday. Was supposed to be 50 today.....never made 40. Melted lots of ice though. 62 Tomorrow...have to work inside all day tomorrow of course.

Isn't anyone going to wast a question on the UBL capture rumor?

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

"We WILL disarm him"

[mhking]

Yadda, yadda, yadda. This is getting to sound like a broken record. How many ways/times can you say the same thing? Why clear the decks and make a big fuss for a non-starter like this?

[RummyChick]

is helen really dead or was that just a joke?

[Joe Hadenuf]

I am disappointed again,,

If we have to got to war? If we have to go to war?? For crips sakes.......

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

President Bush is quietly, confidently answering the press questions. His eyes are clear, his face is kind...and his audience doesn't know how lucky they are that this good man is leading the country right now.

[dep]

all he said is that North Korea is a regional issue, to be handled multilaterally? But he didn't explain why that should be so with North Korea, but not with Iraq.

you might have slept through it, but on september 11, 2001, a bunch of diaperheads destroyed the world trade center and did considerable damage to the pentagon and were responsible for the destruction of four of our airliners, killing all aboard. this makes belligerent diaperheads out problem. beligerent n.k. nutjobs are everybody's problem, but the cowards at the u.n. refuse to admit it.

got it now?

[sinkspur]

His energy has to be meted out carefully.

Nonsense. Bush runs three miles a day. He's got lots of energy.

Energy should be expended to convince people. I don't see the need to be funerally somber at this press conference.

[Otta B Sleepin]

I hear steel and red hot coals in the President's voice. You don't?

I sure do.
