What is the first thing you think of when someone says "England"

[moshquerade]

Let's put this to rest:

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_W._Bush

March 3, 2002 press conference:
Correct quote should read: "And, again, I don't know where he [Osama Bin Laden] is. I — I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."

And

THE PRESIDENT: Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I — I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him.

So my sig is saying Bush was not concerned with finding Bin Laden. You seem to be quoting his justification. Well, that my sig is about. Bush did not care about getting him and wasn't concerned with getting him.

I don't see that quote on the page you linked.
It remains, that you have quotation marks around a quote that is not a quote.

..Terror is bigger than one person..So I don't know where [Bin Laden] is..You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you. ...I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."

• March 13, 2002 Press Conference at the The James S. Brady Briefing Room [34]

versus

Your sig: "I don't know where Osama bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." – President George W. Bush, 3/13/02

Is not the same. :thumbsdown:

vs not derailing a thread

The man was more interested in killing Saddam than Osama. Had Bush not been an idiot who decided to attack country (Iraq) that had nothing to do with 9/11, but instead put the necessary resources into Afghanistan at the start, we probably would have caught Osama at Tora Bora, and also would have been out of that country years ago. Our country would be in much better shape if that idiot Texan had been a teensy bit more interested in killing Osama, who attacked the United States, than Saddam, who did nothing of the sort.

Why are you defending the worst president of the last 100 years? Your argument about the quote is small, niggling, and pathetic.

I'm not defending Bush per say, as I am trying to get techs to see he has a misleading quote in his signature as it is not an actual quote.

Please, please, please stop saying "per say." It makes you look ignorant.

The phrase is "per se", it comes from Latin, and it means, "by itself."

It does not mean "by what I (or anyone else) was saying" or whatever the hell else you persist in thinking your non-existent phrase would mean if it were part of the English language, which it is not.

Check again. I cut and pasted so its correct.

Doesn't matter anymore. You are intent on leaving it as is, and I stopped caring.

When somebody says England I think of their flag followed very quickly by their 3 ensigns.

Wow. People really think of different things when they think of England.

Honestly, none of those things. Probably London would be the first thing.

I emailed the mod that questioned this with the exact cut and paste from the website.

The second "quote" is part of a question and answer and the website does not use quotation marks. It marks them as Q(for question) and The President: for the reply. Why they did that I don't know, but they are both clearly actual quotes and in fact you can cut and paste them into a hundred search engines and get hundreds of reliable webpages verifying t.

JHumeC... she's talking about the quote in your sig, not the quotes in your previous post. Do you not recognize that the quote in your sig doesn't match the quotes in your post? Do you not understand what a quotation mark indicates?
