Reporter says she ".and others in the audience are insulted..."
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002680398_bushiraq13.html

<snip>
Some of the five questions Bush took from the audience challenged his assertions. Faeze Woodville, 44, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Iran and now living in Stratford, Pa., asked why Bush keeps linking the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, to the Iraq war despite no evidence of a direct connection.

The president said "9/11 changed my look on foreign policy" and he learned "that if we see a threat we've got to deal with it."

Woodville said in an interview afterward that she believed Bush ducked her question. "There is no link, and he knows it as well as I. And I and others in the audience are insulted ... ," she said.

2. i did not change his OUTLOOK on foreign policy
he had a hard on to invade iraq b4 9-11, it just provided the excuse.

he ducked her, and the logic of his response is fallacious.

he'll keep linking the 2 until every reporter calls bullshit on it and follows up the evasion he gave the previous reporter with the same question, narrowing & tightening the noose till he can't evade without looking like scotty mcclellan twisting in the wind. and then he'll stop talking to reporters entirely.

3. In that speech are his intentions for more war
This SOB is not going to stop!


From the article:

Bush cautioned that further casualties lie ahead, casting Iraq as the key battleground in a war with terrorist groups that could play out elsewhere as well.

"The long run in this war is going to require a change in governments in parts of the world," he said.

Bush did not elaborate on which ones he had in mind, but a few moments later he mentioned his confrontation with North Korea over its nuclear program, and earlier he had tough words for two of Iraq's neighbors, Iran and Syria
