I'm sorry, but I think the President's going to have to do better than these lame comments. What exactly does he mean when he says 'I want to know the truth'? And also, when he says Saddam was intent on building WMD...that's not what the Administration said back in 2002/early 2003. They said he had WMD. Which we all know because he used them on his own people! Now Bush's line is he intended to acquire them, rather than he posessed them?

Bush has to do a better job than this to counter the media/democrat spin or he won't win the election.

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.


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.

This is old news. There's simply nothing in this Senate report that's not already known.

Bush gave it all the attention it deserved.

He hasn't even seen the report. What would you guys have him do - make some lame, uninformed comment so the press could later show that he said something that wasn't true? I'll take a non-comment (lame to you) over a foot in the mouth any day.

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.

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.

The Bush statement is not the LAME part of this post.

"'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.

It would be interesting to hear about the intelligence on Clinton's Kosovo war.
