100 monkeys typing.

He is an extraordinarily sexy human being.

Sounds like GWB made too much sense and the best you can do is post less than flattering screen shots. Funny thing is when they flashed to Mr. Cheney and Dr. Rice I thought to myself, "I bet that shot ends up on 100monkeystyping."

Am I wrong? Aren't Arabs caucasians so the stretch to make this about "brown people" is just that ... a stretch and a really bad one.

President Bush gave you the timeline that he's been asked for. June 30th - authority in the hands of an Iraqi government, by January 2005 - elections, by October 2005 - an Iraqi created constitution ratified by the people.

How long will the troops remain? That's very hard to say, but I truly believe it will not be more than 1 more year. We'll see though. I guess we should've taken the easy way out and carpet bombed them into submission. That seems to be a strategy the supporters of the former president of the US can get behind.

The article posted from the UK - means nothing when it's posted under "anonymity". If the Iraqi people meant that much to the British officer who is giving the expose to the UK press then he'd come out from behind the mask of anonymity. He's a coward. Interesting choice of words in describing how Americans view Iraqis. That doesn't seem to line up with the comments of many that are serving or have served in Iraq that I have read. There may be those who view them as "under-people" but I don't believe it's the general view of the average American soldier. No formal complaints to their American counterparts? Hmmmm... Interesting. Smells fishy to me. Smacks more of yellow journalism than of actual fact. It's interesting he chose a NAZI term that is likely largely unknown in the American military to describe how we view Iraqis.

It's more fun to watch the anti-Bush camp spin everything that is said by the Bush camp to fit their gloom and doom political worldview. It's as much fun as was watching the anti-Clinton camp for 8 years. What these folks could do if they'd only use this energy for good and not for the belittling of their political opponents.

He failed to answer the question about mistakes. He failed to answer the question about 9/11.
He failed to answer the question on the count of hired guns in Iraq being higher than the number of "coalition soldiers".
He failed to answer the question about the 9/11 commission puppet show starring him and Cheney.
He has a list of Must-Calls? Questions not provided in advance stumped him.

sad, given he's the "dear leader of the free world".

Oops.. I realized it's Mr. Rove not Mr. Cheney in that less than flattering shot of Dr. Rice.

Re-read the question. He was never asked to explain why there were so many hired guns. This was the reporter's comment to justify the belief that the coalition is window dressing. And how would he answer the critics to which he responded:

"I don't think people ought to demean the contributions of our friends into Iraq. People are sacrificing their lives in Iraq from different countries. We ought to honor that, and we ought to welcome that."

He does answer the question on 9/11. The question was " Do you believe the American people deserve a similar apology from you, and would you prepared to give them one?" to which he replied: "Here's what I feel about that: The person responsible for the attacks was Osama bin Laden."

THe question about him and Cheney: was ": Mr. President, why are you and the vice president insisting on appearing together before the 9/11 commission?" And he answered it: "And, secondly, because the 9/11 commission wants to ask us questions, that's why we're meeting. And I look forward to meeting with them and answering their questions."

He didn't accept responsibility for 9/11, but then I'm not convinced that he should unless it's a blanket "The Buck Stops Here" responsbility.

He didn't answer the questions the way you wanted him to, so you didn't hear the answers.

But the buck DOES stop there. This man is the president, and part of what makes that job unpleasant is that there's no one else to pass blame to when it comes to you. Truman understood that fact. But no one in our society ever accepts blame for anything ever, right or left of center. This includes our beloved leader, apparently, who is constitutionally incapable of saying, "I'm sorry" or "I was wrong" about *anything*.
