President Bush said this today in response to the Senate Intelligence Committe report: "I look forward to working with members of Congress to put out reforms that will work," Bush said at a campaign event here, noting that he had not yet seen the report. "I want to know the truth. I want to know the facts, ... and I want to make this the best system we can have." The President also reiterated that Saddam Hussein had been intent on building weapons of mass destruction.
Bush has to do a better job than this to counter the media/democrat spin or he won't win the election.

one word: C * R * A * P !
Who gives a shit if he has/had them or not? Does it matter?
We wanted a strategic foothold in the middle east. DONE. We wanted a madman out of power. DONE. We wanted to bring democracy to a backwater place. DONE.
'nuff said.
Bush gave it all the attention it deserved.
Well, all he needs to do is get the David Letterman transcript of Joseph Wilson saying he thinks some chemical weapons, biological "precursors" and some sort of small nuke program will be found.
He should know.
But the Senate report is another spear in Bush's side. If What Kay, Wilson, etc. come true it will confuse people even more, and many will conclude the Bush admin can't control this government.
In my opinion the CIA should get to the down and gritty and release WMD and Terrorist Docs of Iraq all at once and not in pieces to the public. These Commissions seem to spin everything instead of just reading the evidence. Everytime the Liberal Media tries to get on the President's case he should respond, "read the direct report, not some doctored opinion report". The response VP Cheney got from the media for a curse word may serve the Pres. as good without the same wording but the tone.
Please take your crabbing over to the DUmmies they're tired of President Bush too.
On a weekend, when nobody pays attention.
By Monday, something else will be in the news.
You've got calm yourself, man. You have no faith in the people who are calling for the release of video of last night's hatefest in Manhattan.
I suspect there's one out there somewhere that will turn up in a GOP ad.
Bush does have to do a better job with the dolts in media. But they hate his guts anyway and he can't waste too much time on them. And who cares what the Senate think anyway.
They need to start talking with force behind their words - not empty statements like "I want to know the truth" - He already knows the truth!!
Saddam was a mad-man that ignored 17 UN resolutions - A man intent on supporting terrorism - a man intent on developing (or finding new ways) to develop WMD or WMD programs - Period!! -
The world is safer without him - period - the Middle-East will change for the better now that Saddam is gone...and freedom has a chance to take hold in Iraq - that self-worth will come to the people of Iraq....and with this self-worth they will reject the idea of terrorism....and this attitude will spread throughout the Middle East in time -
This is what GWB needs to start saying...and saying loud and clear!!
Are you people losing your marbles? The Senate report does NOT criticize Bush, and the latest British fact finding demonstrates that Wilson was dead wrong. Further, what Bush said was totally responsible. Grow up and get real.
The Bush statement is not the LAME part of this post.
I've seen this administration bringing out these points but they just seem to drop it after mentioning it or allow the evil side to scoot around the real issues. This administration needs to get tough and demand the truth and demand the evil side tell them what they would do different. Tell them where and when most of the intelligence came from (Clinton Admin.)
"'I want to know the truth'? And also, when he says Saddam was intent on building WMD..."
This is a perfect example of using the 'bully pulpit' to clearly get your message out to the American public. Fantastic rejoinders developed by the WH staff, working hand in glove with the B/C '04 team. That'll keep the hounds off your tail - right.
The way Roberts buckled to Rockerfeller it won't be long before they do blame Bush. Remember that's part 2.
It would be interesting to hear about the intelligence on Clinton's Kosovo war.
