A 10:30am news conference? Unheard of. I guess he is hoping not many people see it and that the sound bites will be played on the evening news.
Also, isn't this like the first news conference in 1.5 years????
Obviously by not announcing it til the last minute then holding it at 10:30 am the Bushies are trying to slip it past us as unoticed as possible.

We could have only wished to take him alive, but I say the man is dead. He's not felix the cat with 9 lives, and even if he was, there were too many bullets sent his way, for him to avoid all of them. 😉

A news conference is when you answer questions.
What Bush did last night was a speech.

 
Ought to be interesting. I'm giving 3:1 odds that he'll only take staged softball questions, a la Jeff Gannon of Talon News Service...

Helen Thomas sure as hell won't get called on...

Hard to say, though- even lapdogs get fiesty from time to time...

I'll go 5:1 that someone asks what's on the WH Christmas Day (dinner) menu.

 
yet again, bush is saying something over & over in order to convince people of the fact and "make it true".

bush keeps repeating that he is protecting the civil liberties of americans.

what a load of crap!
 
:laugh:

The Propagandist said "Happy Holidays"!!

The White House just declared War on Christmas!!!!

:laugh: :laugh:
 
I heard he got nailed on the domestic spy thing. He claimed he could not use the FISA court because it was too slow, then a questioner pointed out that it could be done retroactively, you can do the wire tap and then get the FISA approval. They said Bush had no answer to that. Anyone who can't see this as shredding the Constitution and a power grab for the Executive branch is a brain washed fluffer. This is dangerous, no matter what party you belong to.

FISA court approved 1228 FISA court requests were approved in 2002. Also, Sen. Schumer was on ABC's GMA today saying the gov't could setup wiretaps and retroactively get the warrant thru the court.

I think The government has 72 hours after an investigation begins to get court approval. That's what Russert was saying on MTP the other day.

So why circumvent the oversight systems already in place? I really hope congress doesn't drop the ball on this issue and placate the administration, there are some serious legal questions here. This is an opportunity for congress.

 
Same old BS. Still equating Iraq with al Qaeda. He actually said that Congress gave him the go ahead to attack al Qaeda in reference to his unprovoked invasion of Iraq. Unvelievable.

So all the guys blowing up US troops over in Iraq are a member of PETA?
 
Meanwhile, Cheney sneaks into Iraq and gets peppered with questions from the troops.

U.S. Troops in Iraq Pepper Cheney With Questions About War
Earlier in the day Vice President Dick Cheney made his first visit to Iraq since the war began.

* Vice President Dick Cheney: "I'm delighted to spend sometime today looking at the situation in Iraq, and finding out on the ground how it feels especially after the tremendous election which happened this week. I'm glad to have you all with us."

During his visit to Iraq, Cheney met with a group of U.S. soldiers who expressed reservations about the war. One Marine Corporal said "From our perspective, we don't see much as far as gains" Another asked "Sir, what are the benefits of doing all this work to get Iraq on its feet?"

George W. Bush is responsible for blowing up troops, not me. He told the lies that started this disaster, I didn't.

I have been against the illegal, unprovoked, unnecessary invasion of Iraq right from the start. I was fully supportive of the invasion of Afghanistan and indeed wish that Bush had sent the force there to wipe out al Qaeda where they actually were instead of wasting all of these lives and hundreds of billions of dollars on his fool's errand in Iraq.

You didn't answer my question. Bush isn't triggering IED's to kill troops. Who is? Your going to tell me that those are just honest and normal citizen who just stumbled on explosives, and the knowledge to use them, who just really hate it when the US builds schools and whatnot?

You do understand the difference between then and now?

Then - Past tense, history. Iraq had no ties to terrorist or AQ. Iraq was a secular government who opposed radical Muslim influence in the region (Iran). That is the Iraq that Bush invaded.

Now - Present tense, not historical. Foreign fighter (some Taliban and AQ) along with Iraqis are now attacking US troops because they are there and are easy targets. This was not our plan, but it sure serves the interest of AQ.

If you honestly believe that our soldiers are "easy targets" then you will believe any line of crap spoonfed to you.

Insurgants dying at a rate of something like 50-1 to us troops doesn't sound so "easy". And fighting on their own turf does not help AQ out very well. They'd much rather be killing unarmed civilians over here.

For every one you kill, you create 10 more.

Get this through your head.

We've lost.

We've lost their hearts and minds. Children are throwing rocks at military and contractor trucks. They hate us. They placate our "elections" because they want us GONE.
