Pres is asked about intelligence failure; says that intelligence is vital component of war on terror.
Intelligence services need to provide best service possible to future presidents.
Questions in Congress are good; Congress can look at intelligence gathering without giving away state secrets (is this a barb?)

His political associations probably made him take a more
liberal stance than he was at heart. He was by nature a slimy/sleazy human being.
Who is more conservative: the democrat Senator from Georgia or the Republican President?

Not sure who is responsible, but GWB's make-up appears strange. On the regular tv it is orangish in color. Could be poor lighting. [remembering Nixon-Kennedy and Nixon's make-up fiasco]

They showed a large picture of John Kerry and President Bush side by side, stating the polls. Anyway, the one of Kerry was good, for him, and the one they used for Presdident Bush was terrible.
I'm shocked! SHOCKED, I tell ya!!

To: All
Russert: Curt greeting to Bush.
Bush: THank you sir.
Russert: Intelligence appointment to look at failures.
Bush: Let me step back and look at intelligence in general first, if I might. Talking about how important ingellicen is in the war on terror.
So the commission I set up is to analyze what went right and what went wrong with the Iraqi intelligence.
But it's really to make sure the ingelligence services have a good product for future presidents as well.
Several investigations going into this including in Congress.
Russert: Blair has set up a commission too but our commission isn't going to report until after the election. Isn't it better for people tohave the information before the election. (Creep)

Is it 10:30 EST?
To: Indy Pendance
Is John Kerry's ponderous voice starting to grate on anyone else's nerves yet?

To: Carolinamom
Unfortunately, having Brit participate in the opening interviews went away with the switch from Tony Snow... I've actually enjoyed and been impressed with Chris Wallace and think he's been much better than Tony in these interviews -- but nobody matches Brit. I'm sure FoxNews Sunday didn't get interviews with some major figures because of trepidation at facing Brit.
To: not-an-ostrich
When you see these poll numbers spouted as fact, look closer to see how many were polled, when they were polled, and what group in particular was polled. This is where the manipulation occurred.

To: Amelia
Shouldn't info be available before election?
We need to give time for the investigation - it's important. Plenty of time for American people to decide if Bush made right decision, and he looks forward to the debate.
Commission set up is for long-term users of intelligence - future presidents, etc.
(I'm paraphrasing because I can't type so fast.)
Testify before commission? Bush will be glad to talk with them, tell them what he thinks.
Strongly supportive of Tenet.

(Podesta about Bush: "He's got four years to try to undo all the stuff we've done." (TIME-1/22/01))
To: Peach; dwilli
So the question then is, if Clinton is more of a conservative at heart, how come his Supreme Court nominees were Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Steven Breyer? Because quite frankly, until we reign in judicial activism, the positions on legislative matters mean very little. The judges just impose what they want-- case in point, the Lawrence decision and the Massachusettes decision.
This is about much more than just abortion. This is about our entire system of government. And Bush wants to conserve the system of checks and balances including a restrained judiciary, and the Democrats want to install liberal activist judges who will impose the portions of their agenda that they can't get the public to support legislatively.
Anyone who thinks Clinton, at heart, was more of a conservative than Bush is missing the forest for the trees.
To: Peach
Sunday Today Show airing. They show the clip of Kerry "George Bush's days are numbered and it's time for them to go".
I remember how the media said Bush and Cheney were so MEAN when they did their lines: "They have not lead, we will" and "The wheel has turned"
Remember? They were said to have been throwing out red meat and "going negative".
I notice Kerry says vulgar things like "Don't let the door hit ya" and the media nods in agreement and says not one word of criticism about his choice of rhetoric.
To: ReleaseTheHounds
Bush: Believes the CIA is ably headed by Tenet. People working hard. Intelligence requires all kinds of assets to bring to the president and I want that service to be strong, competent and provide good product.
Russert: Another commission looking at 9/11. Will you testify?
Bush: We've given strong cooperation. Condi met with them. Have provided the threat level info.

To: onyx
I totally agree with you, however where are our people? This is my biggest issue that I have with my party.. If the interview went great (which I do feel it did) why aren't our guys out there banging down the doors of the more conservative news outlets saying that. SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
This is where I feel our weakness is, we don't need to only "pre-emptively strike" in the war on terror. We need to do the same against the dems.
They have always been so good at it and we ahve not and I think it's time for us to get some balls and go toe to toe!
To: William McKinley
Good answer, WIlliam. I won't debate with this person at this time because it will ruin the integrity of the thread and then I can't "hear" what the president is saying.

Wallace is asking Edwards in light of the results, can he say that he can win over Kerry...paraphrasing. Edwards maintains he can. Ha.
