"How can a 9 year old fight the war on terror?"

[discopants]

Did anyone catch this high melodrama on the news tonight. Bush had his rehearsed response to complete the scene... "You have to watch the rhetoric..." Anyone have a clip of that?

1. Always a hand picked audience with "good" questions....

<snip> After his opening remarks, Bush fielded about 10 questions from the audience of invited groups. White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the questions were not prescreened. Bush said no topics were off-limits, and even invited a question about Iran, but nobody asked one.

<snip> A 7-year-old boy's question - "How can people help on the war on terror?" - gave Bush an opening to score some political points against his critics and try to keep Democrats from using Iraq as an issue in this year's midterm elections.

"It's one thing to have a philosophical difference - and I can understand people being abhorrent about war. War is terrible," Bush said. "But one way people can help as we're coming down the pike in the 2006 elections is remember the effect that rhetoric can have on our troops in harm's way, and the effect that rhetoric can have in emboldening or weakening an enemy."
