"I certainly don't expect the process to be trouble-free," Bush said as he addressed next year's agenda ranging from overhauling Social Security (news - web sites) to the Jan. 30 elections in Iraq (news - web sites).

In the 17th news conference of his presidency, Bush accused insurgents there of trying to "disrupt the democratic process" and urged the American people to remain patient well beyond the lections.


"The elections in January are the beginning of a process and it is important for the American people to understand that," he said.

He said "I would call the results mixed" on a U.S. effort to put Iraqi security in the hands of its own people.

"When the heat got on, they left the battlefield — that is unacceptable," he said.

12. interesting...

I copied and pasted the exact headline. They changed it almost instantly. I wonder who makes these decisions at AP? I envision a rogue reporter trying to get away with his own title before the bush/rove editor-scrubbers catch it!

13. It happens

Also, depending where you get the news from, it can be different. For instance, the link at the main page at Yahoo! might give one phrasing, then you go to the article and it's a very different phrasing. We just need it to match whatever gets quoted.

18. Educating

There is a lot of educating to do for the 40+ % who don't understand what is happening to OUR country. My fear is that in certain Regions it will be an impossible task, because fear, stupidity and the ignorance of the populace out weighs the few enlightened ones who have been capable of understanding the REAL problems and challenges for us to GET OUR COUNTRY BACK.:mad: :mad: :mad:
