The President counters a rebellion by senior Republicans over terror suspects’ treatment


GEORGE BUSH came out fighting yesterday against the senior Republicans, including Senator John McCain and General Colin Powell, who have led a revolt over his latest plans for the treatment and trial of terror suspects.
He said that if legislative proposals to clarify “vague” obligations under the Geneva Conventions were blocked by the Senate, a CIA interrogation programme that had helped to prevent attacks in both the US and Britain would be scrapped.


On occasions during yesterday’s White House press conference, the President appeared to be genuinely angry, interrupting a reporter’s question to shout: “I’m just telling you the bottom line.

“Perhaps some in Congress do not think the programme is important . . . I think it’s vital. The point is that the programme is not going to go forward if our professionals do not have clarity within the law.”

Don't you get it, he has nothing to lose. The so called rebels are following the rove game plan to show their Independence from the pres. If you think they have anything more then elections on their mind you are not as smart as I think you are.

Ann Richards was correct. "Some jerk" was how she referred to him, back in the days when he was about to challenge her for the governorship. Some things haven't changed.
