Bush has fumbled every time he got the ball. Now he's just hoping to stay in the game till the clock runs out.

Yes! Did you intentionally leave out his answer just to make a personal attack on the President? You didn't even get the question right.

Wait a minute ............
So... you are saying the flitesuit and the great big 'MISSION ACOMPLISHED' sign are not true ?


An argument could be made that Georgie, ever sharp as a donut,
thinks IraQ is Afganastan.......ya know... freedum hatin', criminally
pigmented camel people etc, etc, them kindz is all the samez ya know....
But really, the chimp doesnt want to sour relations with his personal
friends and business partners by rankling ol' Osama. Would create
too much of a ripple amoungst the Saudi Royalty who he will be working
for as a lobbyist in 'consultant' or 'diplomat' role on Nov. 5th-08

Yes sir, that specific mission was "accomplished." Per usual the media distorted and spun the intent of the President's visit.

In his speech on the carrier deck he also stated "our mission continues"

Maybe you can tell us specifically just what mission was accomplished and what one was continuing?

Darn news media ~ they seem to always get the story wrong with George. Just when he looked so good walking across he carrier in his uniform and all ~ someone had the sign old sign hanging up there and the news media just had to video that sign. I would normally had thought that they could have left the sign out of the pictures but they didn’t. Darn old news media should have known better.

The news media is the downfall of everything that George has had problems with. They just keep after each one of his mistakes and foolishness ~ seems George is always doing something foolish and the media plays it all the time. It’s the bad news media that is wrong not George! yeahh

So the talk of going after those responsible for 9/11 was just so much political blather?
