Hold it! DID Bush express his condolences at the press conference today?
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 02:59 PM by underpants
I know this is just a Yahoo caption but I don't remember him saying anything about it.


President Bush (news - web sites) expresses his condolences to the families of U.S. Marines killed in the crash of a CH-53 helicopter, during a news conference at the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2005. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

Maybe I am answering my own question but in the transcript below the only thing I can find is this part of his prepared statement.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/01/20050126-3.html

Across the world, freedom has deadly enemies; yet, across the world, freedom has great and growing momentum. There has been enormous sacrifices made by some of our citizens in the spread of freedom. Families suffer as the result of the loss of a loved one. We continue to offer our condolences and prayers for those who do suffer. We'll honor the memories of their loved ones by completing our missions.

4. I think he said "Whenever there is death, it's a sad day" or something
like that. It was at the beginning. But he seemed to cut it short, or brush it aside, or something. I wonder if the transcript will have it.
