Bush, a bleeding heart liberal?!?

In his first press conference since February, President Bush made a plea to all Americans to think of the children. When discussing the war in Iraq, he said, “They are a threat to your children, David [Gregory, NBC reporter], and whoever is in that Oval Office better understand it and take measures necessary to protect the American people” (Whitehouse). He later said, “It's a danger to your children, Jim.” Have we already forgotten the lessons of 9/11? September the 11th forced us to prioritize the way we think and act on the global stage. As a result of 9/11, we realized that we need to think of the children. Somehow, we forgot that and are complacent again. When terrorists attack again, as the did on that calm, serene morning of September 11th, who will protect David's, Jim’s or your children?

Also from the press conference: if you ever doubted President Bush’s credibility, you were mistaken. He put all credibility issues to rest when he emphatically stated: “I'm credible because I read the intelligence.” President Bush cannot be held accountable for his egregious and deadly mistakes, he is simply a conduit for the American people. He receives intelligence telling him Iraq has WMDs, and he, quite rightfully so leads us into war with Iraq. He received no intelligence in August warning of an imminent attack by Osama bin Laden using airplanes, so he did nothing, and nothing occurred. Wait, there was a briefing that described bin Laden’s plan to attack the US and the Iraq war intelligence Bush read said Iraq had no WMDs. Now I’m confused…
