Bush to hold news conference at 10 am EDT/1400 GMT


WASHINGTON, Aug 21 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) on Monday, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

Bush, who spent last week conferring with his foreign policy, national security and counterterrorism teams, is certain to face questions about the fragile truce between Israel and Hizbollah in southern Lebanon as well as the situation in Iraq.

1. And it promises to be hilarious!

[MaineDem]

2. With real live questions?

His poll numbers must be bad or something.

I do wish the reporters would ask substantive questions and demand real answers.

[grytpype]

3. Why?

Is he going to say something different this time?

Or is he going to give himself a medal for spreading freedom all over the face of the globe?

[bigworld]

4. No rhyme or reason to these things being called

I hate how he calls 'em with like a hour warning. Does he just call a news conference when he's feeling particularly 'on'? Is it a power trip for him? What gives?

13. NASA Announces Dark Matter Discovery

Astronomers who used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory will host a media
teleconference at 1 p.m. EDT Monday, Aug. 21, to announce how dark and
normal matter have been forced apart in an extraordinarily energetic collision.

Gravity wave is the ultimate source of space and time travel.
Scientists all around the world are chasing the gravity wave
phenomenon and invisible dark matter presence to derive the
ultimate source of space travel and perhaps time travel.

on edit: and lest i forget, the latest bit, 'the terrorists will follow us home!'

30. BUSH** to Bang War Drum like One Armed Monkey on Crack!!

[saigon68]

33. here is the War Monkey

[paparush]

31. "A failed Iraq will threaten the security of the United States.."

Interesting debate in America about how we ought to handle iraq. Some say, withdraw now, and I say that's a HUGE mistake.

Q: ISn't Tehran's influence in the region growing despite your efforts to curtail it?

B: What's interesting is that violence in the Middle East are all groups of terrrorist who are trying to stop the advance of Democracy. They are trying to thwart the will of millions who want a normal life.

Iran is obviously part of the problem. They sponsor Hezbollah. The incourage a radical brand of Islam. Imagine how difficult this issue would be if Iran had a nuclear weapon.

I will continue to remind our friends and allies of a nukular armed Iraq (he meant to say Iran, I think)

I clearly see the challenge that these threats pose to the homeland and I clearly see the challenge that these threats pose to the world.

[truthisfreedom]

36. "to the homeland." why does he hate the name of his country?

why do we put up with this nonsensical reference to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

[focusfan]

32. Bush is a bully

he is just wanting to bully other countrys

[Seabiscuit]

34. He's been brushing up on his simplistic slogans. Now he's ready to

spew them all over the air waves again.
