Brian Williams Interview

It's Not About the Image...

... Bush, it's about the substance. Caught just a glimpse of your interview with NBC's Brian Williams this morning, before moving on to better things. I heard you insist for the zillionth time that the Iraq war was the right thing to do. You admitted that it wasn't Iraq that attacked on 9/11, but went straight from there to sayin that you had never claimed it was Saddam who had attacked us. Untrue. You may not have put it in those exact words, but you and your administration spent months in the attempt to persuade the American people of just that, in order to justify your invasion. Successfully, it appears. We had a new acquaintance over at our house last night who came out and said it: he still believed Iraq had something to do with that attack.

Wneh asked about the opinion of the rest of the world and the hostility to our policies, you were quick to attribute this to a poor public relations job. Not so. It's about the policies themselves, Bush. That's what's getting people riled up.

No more for now. I have something on my mind for later, though. If I find the time to get it written. Until then...

Hmmm, poor public relations? He does have that, in spades! I saw a portion of that as I was going elsewhere on the TV. I just sighed, and went to PBS. Nothing new, he hasn't learned anything new... just so sad, and there are 2 more years of this. Wish I could just meditate it away, but I don't think I could do that 24/7/730.

APB! APB!

Here's the dynamite lie I'm trying to uncover. heard it on the Count-Down presentation of the Brian Williams interview. I swear I did:

Bush says:

" I never thought about taking out Saddam Hussein before 9-11."

Or words to that effect.

Can anyone fooking find it?????

It's excluded from the published transcripts!
