PO'd Bush gives Press Conference with Bremer re. Iraq/Bombings.

[KoKo]

Bremer is in town and so they decided to hold Press Conference for 5 minutes. He repeated his "terraists are there wanting to kill, kill, kill anybody because the electricity is on and the oil is flowing, and people are finding work."
When reporter asked what was being done to prevent these attacks, he said "we are hardening targets, but these people don't care, they are killers...that's what they know to do, it's what they want to do, and they will kill Iraqi's and anyone who wants freedom."

The third or fourth reporter who got to ask a questions said: "Welcome Back, Mr. President!" Bush replied, "Well thank you...glad that someone is glad to see me back and maybe I'll call on you first the next time!" Laughter broke out and the camera panned showing Rummy laughing heartily!

One observation of mine:
When the cameras started flashing Bremer reached down and pulled his tie so it was sitting straight out rather than sideways or crumbled near his belt. It was (it seemed to me) a "vanity gesture" that he was worried his picture wouldn't show him as the "dandy" dresser he always seems to be. (remember he sends his suits to Kuwait to be cleaned). I als observed that Bush's tie was straight out in front. Is this something new with men? Or, just these two men. It made me wonder how they could be so concerned that their ties were in perfect formation when there was so much carnage in Iraq last night.

2. Pathetic

They want to kill, kill, kill No kidding!

Anybody with half a brain would ask WHY they want to kill, kill, kill.

Does it (perchance) have anything to do with oppossing an occupying force? Does it (perchance) have anything to do with resisting a puppet government being established?

Again, we are presented with another simple-minded, arrogant, ethno-centric explanation which will get us ABSOLUTELY NOWEHRE in ending violence and hatred in the region.

These mf's are pathetic...........
