"His own words show that he thought there were better ways. He was opposed to the idea."
Being open to better ways is NOT the same as being opposed to arming pilots.
Moreover, Bush has signed TWO pro-gun arming pilots bills (and you've now conceded this point for BOTH bills by pointing out that you think that Bush liked OTHER things in the most recent bill to make it worth signing), hardly the stuff of someone who "opposes" arming pilots.
and you've now conceded this point for BOTH bills by pointing out that you think that Bush liked OTHER things in the most recent bill to make it worth signing I've been talking about the same bill. The one YOU brought up several posts back, making the point that it was attached to a homeland security bill. I claimed right from the beginning that he only signed it because of the homeland security issues. You haven't cited either of the alleged bills.
