"Asked whether he supports arming pilots, Bush said, "There may be better ways to do it than that, but I'm open for any suggestion."

Now, didn't *you* claim that Bush literally OPPOSED arming pilots? Not merely looking for potential better bills, mind you, but actually opposing it altogether. You know, something that he did TWICE by signing two different bills that did that very thing?!

Where do people get off claiming that Bush is AGAINST bills that he signs into law?

I can't tell you how many gullible posters have claimed that Bush was against arming pilots, even though NONE of them can ever quote Bush himself saying that he was against it even for a moment, much less who can explain why President Bush signed TWO FREAKING BILLS INTO LAW that ARMED PILOTS.

Oh, he was just against it, take our word for it, or take the liberal news media's word for it, you all claim.

Rubbish.

Well, you may have a point. I searched the White House website for any comments by President Bush regarding arming pilots, and found none. So maybe Bush never said what he was reported to have said.

OTOH, President Bush's executive branch has NOT armed a significant number of pilots, although he signed the law two years ago. Do you have any theory on on why he is not carrying out the law he signed?

Well Campaign Finance Reform was one, at least that is what he said.
