<<When you read the transcripts, Bush evaded nearly every question.>>
Not only that, but as he was busy evading, you could see him feeling,
reaching, for which one of a half dozen stock answers he should choose. All
the
stock answers he repeated ad nauseum were direct quotes from Condi's opening
statement to the 9/11 commission. I told my 12 year old yesterday that Bush
was
going to have a press conference which meant he had to answer questions the
people asked him, without cue cards. Her response: "Boy! I bet Condi's
giving
him a pop quiz every day this week!". heh. The denoument, for me, was when he
was asked what his biggest mistake in the last three years were. His answer
was, "I can't think of one". That's what I like -- humility in a Pres.

Sent on:
A fairly good summary of the various reviews of the press conference.
> http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0414/dailyUpdate.html
What I got out of the press conference: Bush is signalling very clearly that
the June 30th transfer will occur on June 30th. However, that's 75 days
away, and when we get there, things may change. But for now, he is showing
that he is determined, for the moment anyway.
Also, Bush will send more troops to Iraq. He is telling the American people
that the USA needs more troops in Iraq.
Iraq is not a quagmire, because Vietnam had swamps and Iraq is a desert.
Therefore, it can't be a quagmire.
However, Iraq can be quicksand.
When you read the transcripts, Bush evaded nearly every question.
