lets calm down here:
Asked about his willingness to commit troops and the length of time they will be serving, Bush said they will be there for as long as it takes "and not one day more"
On June 30th, Iraqi sovereignty will be placed in Iraqi hands," he said.
Sorry, I just can't stand hearing him anymore. When he uses improper grammar by saying "People who have lost their life" and talks about how he has flaws he does not show any confidence. And everytime a reporter asks him a question he goes on to tangential topics. How the fuck did this guy get in office? 
gosh one week of bad press and you guys want to run out with your tail between your legs.
what so radically changed in one weeks time to change the course of such a large set of frameworks set in full motion

OK, talk about a "burning bush"!!!
WTF was that???
Everything that came out of Bush's mouth tonight sounded like a highschooler going into an oral exam without studying for it...
That was a whole lot of bla bla bla but I really got the feeling he didn't know what he was talking about!!
He didn't actually answer any of the questions that he was asked and he brought up the same points 3 or 4 times....
And calling Powell and Rumsfeld secretary of state
I sat there watching and I seriously had tears running down my face from laughing so loud..... 
It's a tough job.
He's not the slickest speaker. If you like a silver tounge, listen to Clinton.
Without a doubt, the man conveys his convictions. Verbal nuance is not this mans strong suit. He does not appeal to people that expect a glamourized, "T.V." friendly fascade.To listen this man seriously, requires a certain amount of maturity to be able to see through his so-called speach impetiments and actually hear his intentions. Although I don't expect a few on this forum will do that.
As my commander in chief, I'm behind this president 100%.
I believe he is a stronger leader than we've had in this country than years I've been alive.

| Originally posted by Galapidate Bush certainly did not sound like a leader tonight, and he even admitted his personal faults a little, which is something a strong leader should not do. That shows even more weakness, and I don't think it is right to keep this puppet in office for another four years. |

Everyone knows that Bush is only less inept a leader than he is a public speaker. The vernacular repertoire of a political leader such as Roosevelt or L.B.J is just not a part of Bush's capabilities, hence we are arguing a dead issue. Bad grammatical structure and all aside I would do better to see him out of office.

| Book: Poppy opposed Dubya's war By THOMAS M. DeFRANK DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF WASHINGTON - A new book on the Bush political dynasty claims former President George H.W. Bush opposed last year's invasion of Iraq. In "The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty," Peter and Rochelle Schweizer cite as evidence a summer 2002 interview in which the older Bush's sister said her brother had expressed his "anguish" about the administration's preparations for war. "But do they have an exit strategy?" the former President is quoted as worrying. "Although he never went public with them," the authors assert, "the President's own father shared many of [the] concerns" of Brent Scowcroft, his national security adviser and a leading war opponent. Top Bush aide Jean Becker denied the allegations yesterday. "From the very first day, President Bush 41 unequivocally supported the President on the war in Iraq," she said. "He had absolutely no reservations of any kind." Peter Schweizer is a research fellow at Stanford University's conservative Hoover Institution and authored "Reagan's War." The book pries open the door slightly on one of the Bush clan's most closely held secrets: the former President's private qualms about portions of his son's Iraq policy. "He agrees with the policy goals but not with all of the execution," a close friend told the Daily News. The older Bush has maintained strict public silence about possible differences, and only last week hammered "elites and intellectuals on the campaign trail" for criticizing the war. Yet close friends and associates said the older Bush, while fiercely proud and protective of his son, nevertheless harbors concerns about the war and its aftermath. These sources told The News that aside from his "exit-strategy" fears of a prolonged, bloody conflict, the ex-President is troubled that the war fractured the international coalition he painstakingly assembled to expel deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein from Kuwait in 1991. One close associate said the older Bush feels Vice President Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld may have pushed President Bush too hard for a preemptive strike. In his 1998 diplomatic memoir, the former President offered this impassioned defense of his controversial decision not to attack Baghdad and topple Saddam in 1991: "Trying to eliminate Saddam ... would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. ... Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land." One well-placed Bush colleague said the older Bush recently acknowledged, "I'm having trouble with my boy," referring to Iraq.

| Originally posted by igottaknow Not sure how it could be called a 'news conference', since we didn't learn anything new and he didn't answer any questions. He could have just prerecorded the whole thing and sent it to CNN. His use of Vague generalities about supporting the troops, fighting for freedom, liberating the Iraqis and protecting America made me wonder if someone could break through this euphoric bubble he lives in and let him know what the hell is going on in Iraq and if he has a plan to get us out of there for god's sake! |
