Evasions, lies, and a promise of more blood-letting... This is good

from www.wsws.org I continue to find it astounding that these folks get straight to the point with their reporting of world events...quite unlike the "lib'rul media"

President Bush's Tuesday night prime-time news conference was a bizarre and repugnant spectacle. After hiding out for a week at his Texas ranch, while his military forces attacked men, women, and children in Iraqi cities with war planes, helicopter gunships, tanks and artillery- killing and wounding thousands- and the death toll of Americans soared, Bush came before the television camera's in an attempt to reassure a shaken ruling elite and stem a growing tide of popular dissent.

<slice>

Even by the dismal standard of Bush's few and far-between encounters with the press, Tuesday night's performance was a miserable farce. There was the usual catalogue of inanities and lies, but this time they were delivered by a haggard and dis-tracted little man who repeatedly lost his train of thought, forgot the questions to which he was responding, and got lost in the twists and turns of rambling and evasive answers.

<slice>

By the end of the question-and-answer period, Bush's responses were growing increasingly incoherent. Asked what he considered his biggest mistake after 9/11, the President had what can fairly be described as a "Captain Queeg" moment. Here is a portion of the reply:

"I wish you would have given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it...You know, I just-I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with answer, but it hadn't yet...

"See, I'm of the belief that we'll find the truth on the weapons. That's why we set up the independent commission. I look forward to hearing the truth as to exactly where they are. They could still be there. They could be hidden, like the 50 tons of mustard gas in a turkey farm...

"I hope-I don't want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I'm confident I have. I just haven't-you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one." :wtf:

Citing commies? here? ;-)

Or are you being "sarcastic?" :evilgrin:

I do not believe in a laissez faire style of business so the Right calls me a Red. Silly.

the differnce in high school! I'm not advocating Socialism...it's just that their reporting of world events is never muddled with lies and distraction! Where in the "lib'rul media" would you find ANY portion of the article above mentioned!:think:
