But the president, who maintained that he had received only a ''drive-by briefing'' on the ruling which was issued during his morning meeting with Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, said he couldn't comment much further on the ruling. "I haven't had a chance to fully review the findings,'' said Bush, when first asked about it. And, when asked a second time, he said: "I wish I could comment on it… I would… I haven't been briefed enough.''

"I'm sorry you had to waste your question,'' Bush told the reporter, during a session with a visiting foreign leader in which traditionally only two questions are taken from reporters of each nation.

5. Sorry

Wait I'm suppose to believe Bush doesn't know about this important case? He doesn't know what the implications are if he lost it? I mean either he's stupid or lying. Wait those aren't mutually exclusive.

6. "I haven't been briefed enough"...TRANSLATION:

"My earpiece is malfunctioning."

The question would have been wasted even if he HAD been briefed. The response would have been more of the Bruce Willis fake action hero "Yippie-ki-yay, motherf**ker" rubbish about "fighting them on their soil so that we don't have to fight them here."

8. translation:

'speedy hasn't told me how I can ignore this ruling.'

HE had not fully reviewed - sorry, raisin brain, there are no pic-o-graphs 2 follow.

'...saying he takes the ruling "very seriously..."'

not 'going to abide by the rule of law' but hoping 2 find a way around it.

Those damn activist judges!
