Of course...

[Bitter Bierce]

"Thus far," indeed. Now the "tough questions" designed to test the "toughness of his hide." What a crock -- "most Americans" want us to "get out" of Iraq no matter what the cost.

[Kakaze]

I am hating this interview.

The agenda here is hardly shielded,.

"can you be wrong without being dishonest'.........oh for christ sake its like asking do you still beat your wife.

[onyx]

DITTO!

[tyke]

It's not the job of the media to be complimentary in this situation. They should be asking tough questions. The President is not some shrinking violet, as his responses are showing.

[Txsleuth]

Pres. Bush is doing GREAT.

Pelley is asking dumb questions...and accusatory questions.

Pres. Bush is explaining how dangerous our enemy is..but Pelley is too busy waiting for a GOTCHA answer to LISTEN to him.

[onyx]

Wasn't it your admin that created the instability in Iraq?

GTH idiot!!

[mhking]

I haven't hear one word that could be classified as complimentary....only criticisms, then asking for Bush's reactions.

Why is that a surprise to anyone? The best I'm hoping for is for Pelley to be respectful and not as antagonistic as say...Mike Wallace or Katie Couric would be. But I'm realistic -- I'd truly be surprised if the questions weren't negative.

How about this the US has lost probably less than 7,000 killed in the War on Terror. A number Iraqis and Afghanis have also died.

However after appeasement 100,000,000+ people died in WWII around the world and around 200,000 Americans were KIA.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Scott Pelley - go hang your head in shame! YOU are an insignificant ahole - and I don't use that term lightly.

[onyx]

I'm hearing what you're hearing.

[Sacajaweau]

Instability is like using the word quagmire. The majority of Iraq is doing pretty well.

[Txsleuth]

Asking questions is one thing...but accusing him of lying is another.

[onyx]

How did you see it?

ON the Internet. HAR!!! thanks algore

[Carolinamom]

Neither is it the job of the media to avoid or conceal anything that is positive. What about at least acknowledging the other side of the coin?

BTW Don't lecture me.

[TheLion]

First time I've seen this interviewer....don't like him. Bush should put him in his place!

[onyx]

*sigh*

[Sacajaweau]

IIRC, the had the President tagged with the Duke case the last time he was on 60 minutes. Clever, aren't they??

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

However, if this were Bill or Hillary Clinton, this reporter would have had his questions pre-screened and tough questions would NOT have been permitted. Don't you understand that?

This reporter is saying things that are NOT TRUE and claiming they are. He is totally ignoring the millions of Americans who love this President and find it very reassuring that a man of his character and integrity and steel will is leading this nation!

[JLS]

I am so so on this guy doing the interview.

Let me correct myself. I just looked up two sources and WWII civilian and military deaths 60,000,000+.
