Bush was on live TV when that old lady asked him why he really went to War and Bush went off on her! Anyone see Bush's MeltDown?

and for playing with dolls and crying like a baby for a bottle, right?
dubya's problem are not caused by Dem's or liberals or war dissenters.
dubya's pile of is exclusively of his/Repug own making.
typical to blame the Dems after the Repugs have been running the show single-handedly for 6 years.
You dubya suckers take your medicine like men, and quit wimping out blaming everybody else for you very own . You elected these mother ers, and the mother ers mother ed up big time. eat your own , you made it.

Cheney as popular as a turd in a punch bowl
Not just Dems. Seems T. Kean Jr. who is running for Senate in Jersey is happy to take Darth Cheney's money but knows it's a kiss of death to be caught in the same photo with him.
If they Old Lady really asked him his REAL reasons for going to the war, he will never say that (he doesn't know).
But History will tell.
dubya went to war because Uncle head/rummy/wolfowitz/etc TOLD dubya to start a war, and their reasons were NOT the bull reasons we were given.

"I'm sorry he's not here right now," Mr. Cheney said, referring to the younger Mr. Kean. "But I do some of my best work without a candidate."
- Cheney
Even Cheney is crackin on the President. This administration is the source of much comedy. Do they even know it?
Flame Out? I didn't see the press conference, but I listened to it in its entirety and there was no "flame out." The person who asked the question was the idiot Helen Thomas and she did it for no other reason than to provoke the President and try to make him look bad.
He answered her question forthrightly; however, he did get a little testy when she tried to interrupt him before he had a chance to answer the question.
It was a great press conference and I thought the President did a great job, especially considering some of the inane questions that were asked.
"Flame out" - you wish!!
"to provoke the President and try to make him look bad."
I guess you'd rather dubya give one of his scripted p/c's to a muzzled/rehearsed/docile dubya-suckers.
dubya wouldn't last 2 minutes in an real debate like PMs must face in UK parliament.
Here's the transcript of the exchange between President Bush and Helen Thomas - now you can draw your own conclusions.
BUSH TAKES ON PRESS AND HELEN THOMAS TOO
Tue Mar 21, 2006 13:34:11 2006
Helen Thomas, who in January grumbled that President Bush was a "coward" for not calling on her at a press conference, today was granted a question for the first time in several years. The doyenne of the White House press corps, who once called Bush the worst president in U.S. history, seized her chance with gusto, essentially debating Bush instead of questioning him. Here's the transcript:
THE PRESIDENT: Helen.Ê After that brilliant performance at the Grid Iron, I am -- (laughter.)
Q: You're going to be sorry.Ê (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: Well, then, let me take it back.Ê (Laughter.)
Q: I'd like to ask you, Mr. President, your decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and Iraqis, wounds of Americans and Iraqis for a lifetime.Ê Every reason given, publicly at least, has turned out not to be true.Ê My question is, why did you really want to go to war?Ê From the moment you stepped into the White House, from your Cabinet -- your Cabinet officers, intelligence people, and so forth -- what was your real reason?Ê You have said it wasn't oil -- quest for oil, it hasn't been Israel, or anything else.Ê What was it?
THE PRESIDENT: I think your premise -- in all due respect to your question and to you as a lifelong journalist -- is thatÊ -- I didn't want war. To assume I wanted war is just flat wrong, Helen, in all due respect --
Q: Everything --
THE PRESIDENT: Hold on for a second, please.
Q: -- everything I've heard --
THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me, excuse me. No President wants war. Everything you may have heard is that, but it's just simply not true. My at ude about the defense of this country changed on September the 11th. We -- when we got attacked, I vowed then and there to use every asset at my disposal to protect the American people. Our foreign policy changed on that day, Helen. You know, we used to think we were secure because of oceans and previous diplomacy. But we realized on September the 11th, 2001, that killers could destroy innocent life. And I'm never going to forget it. And I'm never going to forget the vow I made to the American people that we will do everything in our power to protect our people.
Part of that meant to make sure that we didn't allow people to provide safe haven to an enemy. And that's why I went into Iraq -- hold on for a second --
Q: They didn't do anything to you, or to our country.
THE PRESIDENT: Look -- excuse me for a second, please. Excuse me for a second. They did. The Taliban provided safe haven for al Qaeda. That's where al Qaeda trained --
Q: I'm talking about Iraq --
THE PRESIDENT: Helen, excuse me. That's where -- Afghanistan provided safe haven for al Qaeda. That's where they trained. That's where they plotted. That's where they planned the attacks that killed thousands of innocent Americans.
I also saw a threat in Iraq. I was hoping to solve this problem diplomatically. That's why I went to the Security Council; that's why it was important to pass 1441, which was unanimously passed. And the world said, disarm, disclose, or face serious consequences --
Q: -- go to war --
THE PRESIDENT: -- and therefore, we worked with the world, we worked to make sure that Saddam Hussein heard the message of the world. And when he chose to deny inspectors, when he chose not to disclose, then I had the difficult decision to make to remove him. And we did, and the world is safer for it.
Q: Thank you, sir. Secretary Rumsfeld -- (laughter.)
Q: Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: You're welcome. (Laughter.) I didn't really regret it. I kind of semi-regretted it. (Laughter.)
Q: -- have a debate.
THE PRESIDENT: That's right. Anyway, your performance at the Grid Iron was just brilliant -- unlike Holland's, was a little weak, but -- (laughter.)
I saw him put the Dumbass old liberal in her place. In short he told her
to shut up and he would answer her question. He was great.
dubya/ head/rummy/wolfowitz/Repugs/conservatives ABSOLUTELY wanted the Iraq war of choice. There was no urgency, no justification, no threat, no Saddam guilt for WTC or WMD, and now we all see, no increase in US security.
dubya absolutely LIES again.
No increase in US security? There hasn't been a SINGLE attack on US soil since 9/11.
BTW - don't you get tired of writing all those negative words describing the conservatives EVERY time you post? I know it gets tiring reading them - we all know how you feel - spare us the drama every time!
"SINGLE attack on US soil since 9/11."
and you say that absence of attack US was caused by the Repbu Iraq war? GMAFB
As long as US and Iraqis are dying needlessly for the Repug re-election war, you'll get an earload from me. I guess you are never tired of having all those dead and maimed bodies reminding you of how wrong the Repugs were about Iraq?
Trust me when you see the evening news you will see Bush's eyebrow hair shoot in all directions, He even picked up his hand and in a Karate Chop fashion he told that poor old lady who has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel to hold on a few times. he would not let her retort. Even the old man on CBS said it was the most passion he has seen from any president.
And Bush got it from a few other reporters also.
The old man from CBS said after the press meeting, this was one of the very rare times Bush did not screen the questions. Now I know why he always looked like he had all the answers before.
Bush looked like he wanted to choke the old bat, You could tell he was thinking if only she could go Hunting with Cheny. Bush was like a wannabe comic dying on stage, he was studdering and had a loss for words. I almost got sexualy aroused watching this 107 year old lady lay down the smack bat on his asshat!
I know Michale More must of came in his sock more than once. This will be on his next movie for sure, This press confrence was a disaster for the Republicans.
Not really ! This man is still in charge of our country. To be honest? I was Embarassed to be an American for a breif moment and that rarely happens"Flame out" - you wish!!
I wish I could have my Vote back!
I read the transcript. I dont think GWB responded "out of line". She has never been called on to ask a question, when she got her chance, he answered the best way he could.
Look, Im no Bush lover (by any stratch of your imagination), but be damned if he isnt the President of the United States. When he speaks, you should at least listen, THEN retort. Interrupting him is selfish, disrespectful and rude. It smacks onlookers as the questionaire is seeking a different answer.
And heres a tip for that journalist...Concise questions beg concise answers. When your question is a paragraph long, the answer will at least be twice that.
I dont see the big deal. I wouldnt shake his hand, but he is the god damn President. He answers to the people, not the Press. Especially press with alterior motives.
Even though the questions weren't screened, I think Bush had every intention of answering a Helen Thomas question today and I think he knew exactly what she was going to ask. Not because she was in on any conspiracy with him, but because her question (rant) was as predictable as the next boutons post.
He's losing support in the country and needs a good battle to get people back on his side. What better way than a headline-grabbing verbal match with a partisan nutjob who, in her old age, is probably not even HIS equal in coherant verbal communication ability? Forces people to choose sides, again.
Same quetion different forum check out the replies

Actually he doesn't answer to them either.
No, she just hadn't been called on in a few years.
BTW, to anyone who actually saw this
Pretty funny stuff, huh? they've only been talking about it all ing day.
Helen Thomas totally owned bush. He faltered once, twice, and tried to redirect the conversation his way.
Helen even said tonight on The Situation Room that he "still did not answer the question directly, how iraq is linked to 9-11"
Of course, the conservers in the house will think he did, when in fact, he didnt.
Now now, on Scarborough Country, Joe Scarborough is seriously criticizing Helen Thomas. He's saying that she badgered the president. What the ? Even 3/4 of his guests are saying she was in line and its a question most americans want directly answered. Scarborough keeps saying he thinks she was badgering him and it was like a scene out of crossfire.
How dare you ask a pertinent question in a press conference with the president!! This is america, land of the missing blonde blue eyed beauties, we need safety, the land where we all want our kids to be safe, go bush!
Helen Thomas is the crazy great aunt every family has, the one who should've been ins utionalized a few decades back. I'm no particular fan of GWB, but I would've enjoyed it if he had simply ignored her.
Helen Thomas is fair and balanced.
I'm surprised she didn't ask President Bush why he doesn't care about black people.
He won't understand what Black means , Bush still calls them colored folks besides , Bush will just do a Jiggy Boo dance and not answer the question anyway

^Guys you are witnessing the orgasmic glee of a closet liberal to chicken to admit it, while hiding under his "independent" "moderate" bull .
