Whitehouse Denies Bush Told Robertson No Casualties
Edited on Wed Oct-20-04 10:02 PM by Jon8503
Pat Robertson says Bush told him there would be no casualties in Iraq war
(10-20) 15:12 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) --

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says he warned President Bush before U.S. troops invaded Iraq that the United States would sustain casualties but that Bush responded, "Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties."

White House and campaign advisers denied Bush made the comment, with adviser Karen Hughes saying, "I don't believe that happened. He must have misunderstood or misheard it."

Robertson's comments came to light on a day when Bush portrayed himself as an aggressive leader who understands the costs of the war on terrorism, while depicting opponent John Kerry as out of touch about the risks.

13. The Crawford Coward Lies Again: Calls Robertson A Liar
Just as the Crawford coward lied when he disclaimed ever saying he said he was not too concerned with Bin Laden, he lies now when he denies the report of fundamentalist minister Pat robertson that he said U.S. troops would not sufer casualties in Iraq.

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"
