...did anyone else see it? It shows the president the DAY AFTER he recieved the August 6th memo, and he's talking about Iraq! How long has this been sitting in the archives?

[coloradodem2005]

1. Yes. I saw it.

That is what my "Bush has a One track mind" post was all about.

2. I missed that thread...Tivo'ed it, and just watched it...

3. Obsessed with Iraq

Obsessed with missile defense. Obsessed with oil and energy executives. Obsessed with tax cuts.

That should be our campaign.

6. Shit!

7. Is this it?

THE PRESIDENT: I've been briefed on it. As you know, our military can make decisions as they see fit to protect our pilots -- unless, of course, it's close to Baghdad, in which case it requires my approval. The missions that took place were fully in accordance with established allied war plans.

As I said, Saddam Hussein is a menace, he's still a menace and we need to keep him in check, and will.

Q Are they ratcheting it up, though? We've had a lot of incidents lately.

THE PRESIDENT: No -- are they, the Iraqis? He's been a menace forever, and we will do -- he needs to open his country up for inspection, so we can see whether or not he's developing weapons of mass destruction.

Notice how he stops just short of saying sumtin..."He's been a menace forever, and we will do (stop)..."

8. It's reshown Sunday evenings

on some National NBC station that Direct TV brings in.

It'll be on at 6:30 here in the Central Time Zone.

Check your lineups to see if you can't get it tonight.

9. Maybe he misread the Aug 6 PDB

Maybe he thought it said Saddam is Determined to Strike Within US.
