Bush threatens the children of reporters who are asking tough questions.

The article above does not have the most interesting information from this news conference.

At one point after David Gregory essentially asked him why we should trust anything he says about terrorists or Al-Qaeda anymore since he has been proven wrong so many times, Bush told Gregory that it was because he read the most current information from our intelligence and that he was trying to protect Mr. Gregory's children.

I rather doubt that David Gregory appreciates having his children drug into this debate.

Bush also made the claim that if we don't fight them over there then they will follow us over here. (Who does not love that old quote?) But then bizarrely Bush said that if the government of Iraq asked us to leave we would. I guess if he Iraq government wanted to put our children in danger, then Bush would support it as well. (By the way the Iraq government has asked us to leave a number of times.)

You know I want to say something about that ridiculous claim that Al-Qaeda is going to follow us over here when we leave Iraq.

Number one, most of Al-Qaeda is not even in Iraq. They could come over right now if they wanted to. The Iraq war is not keeping them from coming to America.

Number two, it has been reported repeatedly that our little conflict in Iraq has been an invaluable recruiting tool for Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. So essentially the longer we stay the more terrorists we may have to worry about in the future. Does the President really think that we can just stay there until we have killed every terrorist that Al-Qaeda can recruit? How is that a plan?

My bitch is that Bush just keeps using the same talking points over and over and over again and no reporter just stands up and says "Look do you have anything new? Anything that is not a lie? Anything that might make my being here in this press conference not a colossal waste of my time? Because if you don't I might as well stop coming to these and just recycle my old articles and send them to my editor."

If any reporter actually did that they would automatically become my favorite reporter of all time.
