ABC: transcripts from mrs. bush* lamenting about POW torture photos
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/05/20040510-1.html

-snips-


MRS. BUSH: I mean, when we look at what we've done in Iraq, where they have water, they have electricity, their schools have been refurbished. I'm working on building a children's hospital in Iraq. In Afghanistan, where little girls are in school for the first time in their lives because they've been liberated from the Taliban. I think all of those are the really good things that the United States military and the actions of the United States government have taken. And we need to remind the world of that as well.

Q But Secretary Rumsfeld warned us on Friday that these pictures are going to get worse. Do you know how much worse?

MRS. BUSH: No, no. I don't know how much worse. And to be perfectly frank, I can't bear to look at the ones that have been in the newspaper.

Q Does the President know?

MRS. BUSH: He may know.

Q Has he seen them? Has he talked to you about them?

MRS. BUSH: No, he hasn't talked to me. He told me some things about them.

Q What did he say?

MRS. BUSH: I think I'll let -- see what happens if they come out.

------------------------

MRS. BUSH: Sure. Absolutely. And it also makes our troops more vulnerable because those pictures are around.

This is the really good news about the United States of America, though. And that is, the pictures came to light. People will be prosecuted. Unlike under Saddam Hussein, where there were torture rooms and no one knew about them and they didn't come to light.

1. If no one knew about Saddam's torture rooms how is it we are talking about
Edited on Mon May-10-04 06:53 PM by Bandit
them? I think the same way we talked about babies being thrown out of incubators. Let's see the photographic evidence of Saddam's torture. We have it for Bush*'s torture rooms let's see it for Saddam's. Also she contradicts herself by saying it is bad for our troops that the pictures came out but yet good that they came out so we can prosecute the bad guys.

2. that drugged moron... she contradicts herself in the same breath!
"Q Has he seen them? Has he talked to you about them?

MRS. BUSH: No, he hasn't talked to me. He told me some things about them."

So he hasn't talked to you, but he told you some things?

What the hell does that mean, Pickles?

7. Shorter Laura Bush: If those damn pictures hadn't been released I'd
still be in bed waiting for my breakfast. If there's one thing I that disturbs me it is being inconvenienced.
