Bush: God made me do it
So pissed off after reading this article:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pre.../06/bush.shtml
Not only has Bush and his uber-conservative evangelical block highjacked my faith, they are now bastardizing its message by proclaiming this nonsense.
Why cant Bush just say, "Well, I f***ed up pretty bigtime (Texas bigtime) on this whole war business, didnt I?" and release a nervous little chuckle???
Instead, he resorts to this kind of crap. Buck Fush!!

Yeah, this is old news. I look it both ways... one is your way and the other is based on the fact he's talking to God-fearing Palestinians. I think it's 50/50 or maybe even more of a diplomacy tactic. Would Bush dare say this in the lions den of San Francisco? Not unless he wanted to be booed off stage. It all depends on your audience.

At the top it says something about an embargo...I think that's why...
EDIT: Well the first time I checked it out, it said it was 'embargoed' until today...now it doesn't say that anymore.

Yea, I'm wondering why this hasn't been mentioned here too. We all know our media is quick to exploit every flaw. Why not this. Hmmm. Perhaps because even our media see's the spin that Nabil Shaath (someone we all know and tust...lol) and the BBC (We know they have never exaggerated about anything + they love us) put on this one. Just a thought. This is the first I've heard of it...It's on I-club...it must be true.

I love it how he is now using scare tactics to get his approval rating up.
"Hey, nobody likes me at home, so i'll just focus their attention to something else! Oh yeah and here are a bunch of terrorist attacks we stopped 2 years ago. And I frogot someone might bomb NYC so lets raise the terror rating! I swear I'm not trying to scare people into liking me!"

I agree here. I think he did mess up but had he been talking to anyone other than God fearing pseudo-militiants I don'tt think he would have said that. I think he said that in error with the attempt of showing them that he understands their motive in an attempt to build a little trust.

A top Pentagon analyst said he never meant to harm the United States when he leaked secret information to Israeli embassy officials and members of a pro-Israel lobbying group.

Still, as much as I dislike the idea, he is sort of like an ambassador of my faith, and when he goes out and says stuff like that I think that it can cause irreperable harm.

Funny how this information has been widely circulated since it happened over 2 years ago, and yet only now does the white house issue a denial.
It's like trying to re-classify documents which are already in the public domain, these guys are coming off their hinges
