The not so informative 'press' conference
Reduction of violence will enable Iraqi's to have confidence in this "process". {Question: Does that include American violence against women and children?}

"I'd like to close Quantanomo." "No question Quantanomo provides an excuse...(for criticism). "You know we've sent a lot of people home, I don't think alot of people know that." "We are a nation of laws." "99.9% of our troops are honorable."

"Alot of indicators of a strong economy." "The Fed is watching very carefully." "The tax cuts are working and we need to make them permanent."

Ok...so far....so good....the usual spin and BS.

1. This is really painful to watch
His demeanor reminds me of that of a 12-year-old kid who's trying to make his case to the Principal after he's been sent to the Principal's Office for acting out in class. It's also completely obvious that he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about...and when he does know what he's talking about, he's lying through his teeth.

2. Answers
We must come up with answers that the electorate will believe.

We must explain to them that the economy is weak. We must tell them why we oppose the war on terrorism. We must tell them why we are opposed to the tax cuts.

We aren't winning by just calling W names. We must explain why we're right and the Republicans are wrong.

3. media cowards should ask "are you a war criminal"?.....
"do you think you will be held accountable for your crimes against humanity?"

"Why did you deliberately lie to start an unprovoked war of aggression"

"Do you think Jesus will approve of your killing more than 100,000 people in the name of oil"

Now that would make an interesting PR conference.

4. 99.9%? WTF?
So he's really saying we have 120 or 130 dishonorable troops in Iraq?

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

5. He's gloating like he just won the lottery
We have to win to stop Iraq from being a terrorist haven, Al Queda, etc. etc.

Hey, Georgie, Al Queda wasn't in Iraq before you f'ed it up, remember?

You have made it a terrorist haven. Why can't you take respoonsibility for royally screwing up this poor country.
