Did the President really say this? 

Makes me even more supportive... He doesn't like window wash... (sic. Aspirin Factory).

“When I take action,” he said, “I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt - It’s going to be decisive.”

Yes, W did. Makes you proud to have him as our leader instead of having Clinton "finishing himself" in the little sink off the oval office during our time of need ;)

Newsweak, excuse me, Newsweek reported this. Rumor has it, however, that he didn't say *butt*.

Viva Bush/Cheney!

Yes. And what's better. He said it to reporters while Hitlery and Schumer were right there in the oval office with him.

The quote is incorrect. From what I heard, he distinctively said ". . . hit a camel in the @ss."

Even better, he said this during a meeting with several U.S. Senators, including Madame Hillary.

I'd say that's a definite "in-your-face" B**ch-slap to ol' B.J. Clinton!

Go W!

Just one more fight 
About your leadership

Leave your sh!t 
Cause I've had enough of this 
And now I'm pissed 

Yeah 
This time I'm 'a let it all come out 
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout 
I'm 'a do things my way 
It's my way 
My way, or the highway

Press Release

SOURCE: Newsweek

Newsweek Cover: 'God Bless America'

Intelligence Officials Fear Between 30 to 50 Teams of Terrorists At Large

Two Weeks Before Attacks, FBI On Trail of Two Suspected Hijackers

FBI: Hijacker On Plane That Struck North Tower of World Trade Center Was Seen In Norfolk, Va.  Last Winter, Possibly Surveying Navy Base

NEW YORK, Sept.  16 /PRNewswire/ -- As the FBI launches the largest manhunt in history tracking the 19 suicide bombers from Tuesday's attacks on the U.S.  and their backers, top intelligence officials tell Newsweek that they fear between 30 to 50 teams of terrorists are still on the loose, according to a report in the current issue of Newsweek.  (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010915/HSSU001 )

In another development, according to intelligence sources, the FBI was on the trail of two of the suspected hijackers two weeks before the attacks, Newsweek reports.  On August 21 the CIA passed along information to the Immigration and Naturalization Service on a man who belonged on the ``Watch List'' for terror suspects.  The man, Khalid al-Midhar, had been videotaped in Kuala Lampur talking to one of the terrorists involved in the bombing of the U.S.S.  Cole, in which 17 U.S.  Servicemen died.  The man is now in jail in Yemen.  When the INS ran its database, it found that al-Midhar was already inside the U.S.  The CIA asked the FBI to find him and an associate, Salem Alhamzi.  But the bureau didn't have much to go on since they listed their U.S.  residence as ``the Marriott Hotel in New York,'' report Investigative Correspondents Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball and Assistant Managing Editor Evan Thomas, in the September 24 cover story ``God Bless America'' (on newsstands Monday, September 17).  There are ten Marriott-run hotels in New York and the FBI checked all of them and found nothing.  Al-Midhar and Alhamzi were listed among the five hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77.

In another development, suspected hijacker Mohammed Atta, 33, who was on the plane that struck the north tower of the World Trade Center, may have begun casing Boston's Logan Airport more than six months ago, according to law enforcement authorities.  Newsweek has learned that he was seen last winter in Norfolk, Va., where, the FBI believes, he was surveying the giant U.S.  Navy base as a target, Newsweek reports.

In a separate article, Chief Political Correspondent Howard Fineman reports that on Thursday in the Oval Office, President George W.  Bush met with two senators from New York and Virginia about getting aid for the devastation.  They got promises of aid and warlike words all four senators yearned for.  ``When I take action,'' Bush told them, ``I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.  It's going to be decisive.'' [Emphasis added]

(I would love to have seen the look on Senator Clinton's face!)

It wasn't "several" Senators. It was only four. Nice cozy intimate group. Wish I coulda seen her face.

If he did, more power to him, but I doubt he did. If he had you'd have already heard slashing retorts from Terry McAulliffe.

Someone's going to have to give me a CREDIBLE link.

Bravo W! Can you in your wildest dreams (nightmares) imagine anything like this coming out of the mouths of either Algore or Lieberman?

Speaking of Terry McAuliffe, that putrid reptile hasn't been heard from for quite a while now, has he?

Remember the "Clymer" comment, which was recorded on tape. Bush certainly speaks his mind when he has to.
