The Decider is now "Noah," wanting "some good news about the flood"

[Human Torch]

Transcript: The President's Interview with Print Media Columnists (Page 12 of 18)



Q: I want to go on the air tonight, I want some good news. I need some good news, sir.

THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I do, too.

Q: I really do.

THE PRESIDENT: You're talking to Noah about the flood. I do, too.

Q: It's a hard thing.

THE PRESIDENT: I appreciate that, but – go ahead.

Q: You said if we leave Iraq they'll come after us –

THE PRESIDENT: Yes.

Q: – we've heard you say that quite specifically. So maybe that's a sign of victory, is that they haven't come here.

THE PRESIDENT: Look, he's trying – this is so hard. That's what makes this more difficult – I don't know what Harry Truman was feeling like, or Franklin Roosevelt. But I do know

– I'm sure there were moments of high frustration for them – but I do know that at Midway, they were eventually able to say two carriers were sunk and one was damaged. We don't get to say that. A thousand of the enemy killed, or whatever the number was. It's happening; you just don't know it. And there's no scorecard. There's not a scoreboard that makes it – great, four more schools – that doesn't score, that doesn't mean anything.

You know, Larry, I've thought long and hard about this, because it is precisely what is frustrating most people. Most people out there – I agree with you – those who say we shouldn't have been there, they're clear. A lot of people – one time I – well, a lot of people are just saying, you're not doing enough to win. We're not winning, you're not doing enough to win, and I'm frustrated, I want it over with, with victory. And I'm trying to figure out a matrix that says things are getting better. I think that one way to measure is less violence than before, I guess. We'll have to see what happens here after Ramadan. I believe these people – oh, I was going to tell you Abizaid believes Ramadan, no question, caused them to be more violent because he says there's some kind of reward during Ramadan for violence. And I think they're trying to affect the elections.

3. How much more stupid can this man get?

Almost 6 years of progressively worse S-T-U-P-I-D Isn't there a limit to how far one can go within the stupid category without regressing into another form of life? I think Bush is teetering on the brink of plant-life myself. :eyes: This "man" is a total embarrassment to our country.
