Remarks by the President to the Pool
Ridgewood Country Club
Waco, Texas

August 7, 2001

Q Also today, apparently the Iraqis fired upon some allied planes in the no-fly zone and we bombed, apparently, some of the sites there. What do you have on that?

THE PRESIDENT: I've been briefed on it. As you know, our military can make decisions as they see fit to protect our pilots -- unless, of course, it's close to Baghdad, in which case it requires my approval. The missions that took place were fully in accordance with established allied war plans.

As I said, Saddam Hussein is a menace, he's still a menace and we need to keep him in check, and will.

Q Are they ratcheting it up, though? We've had a lot of incidents lately.

THE PRESIDENT: No -- are they, the Iraqis? He's been a menace forever, and we will do -- he needs to open his country up for inspection, so we can see whether or not he's developing weapons of mass destruction.




So just one day after the Aug 6 PDB that bin Laden was an imminent threat, Bu$h switches the focus to Saddam?

So even after Bu$h was given solid evidence that bin Laden and not Saddam, he purposely takes the country in the wrong direction?

This is either total incompetence or treason. Pick One. Either way it is time for Bu$h to resign. He's already done enough damage.
