Questions from the Press Briefing
I don't think the press corps likes Dana Perino as much as they liked Tony Snow.
If you're bored, there's alot more there.
Q The President emphasized al Qaeda in Iraq, and if they don't -- we'll fight them there. Before the war, he indicated -- he not only indicated, he said that there were no ties with Saddam. Is he responsible for bringing al Qaeda into Iraq?....
Q This morning you said that if the funds stop for the troops in Iraq, that will be the fault of the Democrats, not the President. But in point of fact, it would be the President who is denying this funding from going through. So does the President really want to halt funds to our troops?....
Q But it's not -- it's the mechanical way this works. It would literally be the President who's stopping this. Is he comfortable being the person stopping the funding?....
Q In his speech today, the President also quoted from a blogger in Iraq as an example of positive developments there, people who see positive developments. Is this really representative of what's going on in Iraq, one blogger? Is this what the White House is relying on?..... (The Blogger was from "Iraqthemodel." He met with Bush in a "success photo op in '04)
If you're bored, there's alot more there.

Will the media report a Bush veto as "Bush blocks funding troops?" Given the current public sentiment on Iraq, what's the positive spin on a Bush veto of funding the troops and vets?

I don't know how the media will report it, but the fact that they're asking these questions in this apparent tone....
I mean someone actually directly asked, "Is Bush responsible for bringing al Qaeda into Iraq?"
The party's over.
I think that's the brilliance of that Pelosi statement you pointed me to. After Bush weny mouth frothingly crazy, she comes back calm making him look irrayional.
That;s a big spin advantage.
