President Bush's new conference regarding current events

[Milwaukee_Guy]

IMHO GW has settled on a plan and the military has been given a date. We will go through the final motions in the U.N. and very shortly therafter we intervene.

A week at best?

[rwfromkansas]

Again, unless you are braindead, you should be able to see this is a press conference simply intended to give reporters updates.

ATTENTION ED FROM THE LA TIMES: OUR TAXES SHOULD BE SPENT TO PROTECT OUR LIVES AND COUNTRY, NOT TO PAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO TEACH GAY PARENTING!

[maestro]

He's sending men and women into a place where if things go bad, causalties can be very, very high. It weighs on any man or woman. Very serious stuff.

Prayers!

Tick-Tick-Tick.........Ticking!!!

George Condon, Copely News: Frustrated with the pace of the diplomacy in Korea?

[oceanview]

Yes, I believe that the "concern" everybody sees on his face is about exactly that, the anthrax. Who sent the post 9/11 anthrax?

[John H K]

Ummm...no.

To go to war AT ALL in 1991 vs. Iraq took incredible force of will and courage Dukakis surely wouldn't have.

To all the Monday Morning Quarterbacks whining about not going to Baghdad in 91, remember the war resolution BARELY made it through Congress at all.

Remember the zillions of people saying "We need to give time for sanctions to bite?" People seriously wanted to wait 1-2 years for sanctions to force Hussein out of Kuwait. We now know that would have been precisely enough time for him to build an atomic bomb.

Remember the people convinced we'd have tens of thousands killed?

Anyone calling Bush Sr. a chickenshit is pathetic.

[Reagan Man]

>>>It is HIGH TIME to quit making these REDUNDANT arguments.

The President is making his case to the world.

>>>THE TIME FOR TALK IS OVER! THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW!!!!!!!!!!

ALL IN DUE COURSE, PILGRIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Libertina]

I don't know how President Bush can stand talking to these reporters. He is a better *man* than I ... ;)

Iraq: Can you imagine each of us picking up our monthly rations as they do in Iraq?? They were given extra rations this last month. How kind Saddam is!!!

[arasina]

For freepers, it's because the book of Revelation doesn't mention N Korea.

You appear to be fixated on The Book of Revelations as if that were what this is all about. President Bush was asked about North Korea and he responded that the situation with that country is a regional one. That is being handled by discourse with China, Japan and South Korea, among others. I, for one, do not appreciate your jabs at Christianity and hope that you will actually listen to what is being said in the news conference.

[Maigrey]

He's been so thoughtful, and at times funny. He's got the weight of the world on his shoulders, and he's got the strength of one within him.

[Texas_Jarhead]

Conversely, Mexico is pulling a slow-motion Pearl Harbor on us.

[vetvetdoug]

Watching this President makes me proud to be an American, a Republican and a Freeper. Screw the appeasers.

[glock rocks]

chill, dog. the weight of the world is upon his shoulders. and he won't cave

uh huh.

just watch.

[Mo1]

How do you weigh the cost of life ...

Tell'em President Bush!!

[Severa]

That's what I'm thinking just from what I've seen on the news and here in town (VA Beach)

[okkev68]

What the crap are you talking about? I have given him all the breaks and support, but he has allowed this to become politicized and it is time to end this and move to the next phase. I know what Bush wants to do but for some reason has not been able to do it yet. It is MY opinion that he has made a mistake in letting this go on this long, but that doesn't make me a basher or a coward.

I waited 11 days for them to dig my mothers body out of the Murrah building rubble, and I firmly believe the Iraqis were involved. So excuse me if I am a little impatient to rid the world of terrorists.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Nah, I'm naughty, but thank you, glock.

Prayers welcome. (^;

The press has calmed...this was like the scene in Crocodile Dundee where he put the water buffalo to sleep...heh.
