Bush to news conference in Rose Garden

11 minutes ago

President Bush faced questions Friday about sharp divisions among Republicans about the war on terrorism and disputes over his proposed strategies for interrogating and trying enemy combatants.

Bush is to hold a late-morning news conference in the Rose Garden.

The session came one day after rebellious Republicans led the Senate Armed Services Committee in rejecting Bush's proposal for interrogating and prosecuting terrorism suspects. The dissident group, led by Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., said Bush's approach would jeopardize the safety of U.S. troops.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell joined with McCain's group. Powell said Bush's proposal to redefine the Geneva Conventions would encourage the world to "doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism" and "put our own troops at risk."

American people without these tools. yup, i can hear it now.

any honorable U.S. soldier should follow orders, based on WMD lies, from a man who deserted his Texas Air National Guard unit to go snort cocaine?" - Savvy reporter

[grytpype]

4. Is he going to talk about terrorism?

And how bin Laden is worse than Hitler, but tracking him down is not a priority?

9. Some questions for Mr. Bush at this crucial juncture:

"If you knew John McCain had fathered an illegitimate child with a black woman, would you be more or less inclined to veto his bill which enjoys more support in the Senate than your pro-torture bill?"

"When you leave office, will you return to your origins in New England?"

"Historically, it's often a bad sign when military personnel question their commander-in-chief. Any chance that history is repeating itself, and the military commanders are right and you're wrong?"

"Angela Merkel publicly questioned the moral basis for black sites. Does she need another neck massage?"

"So how's that Mars initiative coming along?"

10. LOL! Send those to D. Gregory or H. Thomas, not that she

needs any encouragement! :hi:

11. Hey there, babylonsister. A happy Friday to ya and a ringing howdy, too.

Yep -- David and Helen have been roasting Bush's hind end here for a while now. Bless 'em both. The little fool has never really been ever to stand up on his own two feet. He's been propped up by daddy's bank accounts and KKKarl Rove's filthy cheating shenanigans.

And after yesterday's big slap in the face from Warner/McCain/Collins/& Graham, he's probably fit to be tied.

This one could be darned entertaining!

:hi:

16. "Any chance...the military commanders are right and you are wrong?" I

like that. Heh.

[IndianaGreen]

12. Will His Majesty say that Powell and McCain are "confused"?

CNN had a former commander of our forces in Iraq this morning (I can't remember his name), and he strongly supports Powell and he accused Condi Rice of using double speak in her despicable letter defending Bush's proposal.

The supreme irony is to see the military turn on Bush!

[flordehinojos]

13. no. he will say that they are aiding and abetting the terrorists.

[chelsea0011]

14. I hope someone asks him about Ford Motor. Getting him off terror

will throw him for a loop and make him say something he hasn't given one thought to (not that he thinks at all). It will be hilarious.

15. Any idea what time? n/t

18. I 'think' 11:15 am ET. But pls. check because I could be wrong. nt

21. Thanks

I just found it on C-Span and they say the same thing.

Thanks so much.

17. Wait. "News conference" is a verb?

Shoot me now. Seriously. Publishing on the web means never having to drop words for length.

20. co-worker just asked me why bush is giving so many pressers

told co-worker that it was a sign of desperation and the bushies are in their last throes... :rolf:
