Did anyone else hear the president say treat all looters the same?
I read in a Dayton newspaper that the president said all looters should be treated the same, whether they were taking food or anything else...

Anyone have that quote?

1. All I heard was "zero tolerance" for looters.
http://www.tiscali.co.uk/news/newswire.php/news/reuters/2005/09/02/world/bushwarnslootersof34zerotolerance34approach.html

He might not have said that all looters should be treated the same, but that certainly was implied.

4. Need to find the ABC interview transcript
Because I believe that the zero tolerance quote was in direct response to a question by Diane Sawyer about those who are desperately trying to get food and water.

2. Last week in his interview with Diane Sawyer,
Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 08:48 AM by stellanoir
he said there would be "zero tolerance" indicating that there would be no distinction of looters regardless of whether they were stealing water, food, or plasma screen TVs or other valuables.

We should use the "zero tolerance" meme in reference to his relentless looting of our national treasury.

7. He needed a new Osama
He was trying to convince Americans that all poor black people had turned into dangerous terrorists.

8. Does that include the two girls he was hugging in Biloxi?
Weren't they there to "salvage" clothes?
