You have none. You are bankrupt. At best, and I mean at BEST, you can show that the media CLAIMED that Bush was against arming pilots. What you can't show (yes, that's right you can't show it because you've either made it up or actually believed some leftists in the press) is that Bush himself opposed arming pilots.

I'd be embarrassed if I were you... Who does John Magaw work for? Did he just take a position in direct violation of Bush's wishes or does Bush have some control over what his cabinet officials say?
