		<description>If the reporter is missing the point then what the hell was the point of Bush making the exact point the reporter was referring to, while apparently making the missing point secretly in his head? Whats the point of making speeches if your points will be missed by everyone but the most skillfull mindreaders?

And if the President is not really saying what he actually says what is he really saying? And &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/asus/l4500.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;asus l4500 battery&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/asus/a42-l5.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;asus a42-l5 battery&lt;/a&gt; if the President actually says what he isnt saying doesnt that mean the President said everything except what he actually said?</description>

		<description>Dana,  would you be a dear and provide a correction in your next press conference.

  Dana, you yourself have called for news papers to make corrections.

  Should we expect any less from you?  Sure were used to the President&#039;s least.  But you?

 By the way, Dee Dee Myers was press Secretary.  She wasn&#039;t paid the full jobs pay as a man would get.  Are you paid the full Press Secretary pay?</description>

		<description>She is one well trained CHIMP isn`t she,read take a look at this , the reporter then asked Press Secretary Dana Perino: “So the Iraqis would let a foreign terrorist organization take over their oil?” Annoyed, Perino dodged the question, saying that reporter was “missing the point” and that he should go back and read Bush’s speech because “what you’re suggesting is not what the president said.”</description>

		<description>The biggest fear of Bush and Cheney is that the American people will wake up and grow a spine and stop letting them walk all over us..........that day probably will never come 

The American people do not have the backbone, fortitude, courage and common sense that previous generations had.
We have devolved. That is the root cause of why this country is on the downward track.</description>

		<description>Memo to Dana Perino: Your service called.  They&#039;ve discovered this new thing on the Internets Tubes called &quot;NEXIS.&quot;

If Zarqawi and bin Laden gain control of Iraq, they would create a new training ground for future terrorist attacks.  They’d seize oil fields to fund their ambitions.
 -- George W. Bush, North Island Naval Air Station, August 30, 2005

Imagine a world in which they were able to control governments, a world awash with oil and they would use oil resources to punish industrialized nations. And they would use those resources to fuel their radical agenda, and pursue and purchase weapons of mass murder.
-- George W. Bush, Military Officers Association of America, September 5, 2006

If we do not defeat the terrorists or extremists in Iraq, they will gain access to vast oil reserves and use Iraq as a base to overthrow moderate governments across the broader Middle East.
-- George W. Bush, press conference, October 25, 2006

Each strain of violent Islamic radicalism will be emboldened in its efforts to gain control of states and establish new safe havens. The extremists would use oil resources to fuel their radical agenda and to punish industrialized nations and pursue weapons of mass destruction.
-- George W. Bush, Remarks at Latvia University, November 28, 2006

I worry about a situation where if radicals took control of a country like Iraq, they would have oil resources to use at their disposal to try to achieve their objectives.
-- George W. Bush, Associated General Contractors of America, May 2, 2007

If we were to quit Iraq before the job is done, the terrorists we are fighting would not declare victory and lay down their arms. They would follow us here home. If we were to allow them to gain control of Iraq, they would have control of a nation with massive oil reserves, which they could use to fund new attacks and extort economic blackmail on those who didn&#039;t kowtow to their wishes.
-- George W. Bush, July 4th Remarks, Martinsburg Air National Guard Base, West Virginia, July 4, 2007

To begin to bring troops home before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for our country. It would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to al Qaeda, risking a humanitarian catastrophe, and allowing the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq and gain control of vast oil resources they could use to fund new attacks on America.
 -- George W. Bush, radio address, July 14, 2007</description>
