I also watched the next segment, on the Duke Lacrosse team and, after hearing Leslie Stahl's tough questions of Nifong, I wished she had been assigned to interview Bush, and that the impact of Bush's decisions on families was shown as much as the impact of Nifong's prosecution.  Nifong's unhinged prosecution obviously affects the lives of three wealthy boys and their families, but Bush's decisions have affected the lives of millions.  The statement of the mother, who was asked what she would say to Nifong, really struck me. She said "you messed with the wrong families" and said she'd say this with a smile on her face.  

But Bush was allowed to justify his decisions in the face of occasionally tough but generally softball questions that allowed him to simply parrot the lines Cheney had previously fed him.  Is it the case that while Nifong "messed wtih the wrong [three] families" Bush has messed with the right ones and thus doesn't have to face as tough of questions as a prosecutor who took on boys of privilege?  

Knowing this MSM we are strapped with they would cut off the event and then Bush would make certain the segment is never shown.

The Iraqis should show more gratitude?  Is he kidding?  We've destroyed their country and left hundreds of thousands of their citizens dead or badly wounded for Bush's ego and they should be grateful.  Grateful to be without electricity, water, sewer, and other services and a bad economic situation.  And lest we forget it sounds like Iraq won't actually own their own oil as western oil companies seem about to get a 30 year contract to pump their oil.

Those permanent bases we are building are to protect our oil workers.  What ever happened to the idea that Iraq's oil would pay for this war?  Absent without comment it seems.

Who wants to even claim Bush & Cheney as our leaders?  I don't and never have.  

Something must be done to remove them from office immediately.  Not next month, six months, or a year from now.  They are truly dangerous, evil men.

The toll free phone numbers for the Capitol switch board are:
1-888-355-3588 (Senate)
1-866-808-0065 (House)

Call the Congress critters and demand impeachment.  Hound them to death.  If enough people demand it it just might happen.  Does Congress really believe we don't understand what is happening in our police state?

But:

I went on the phone with folk's around the country who had missed it and sent them the video from CBS; the UNANIMOUS comment after seeing it was:

"This is a very dangerous loon we have for a President".

The United States has been "creating chaos and instability" for years and they know it. bush admitting that his policies are creating instability is like Mike Tyson admitting he has sharp teeth.

congressional Research Service 2004 report to congress: "Illicit Drugs and the Terrorist Threat: Causal Links and Implications for Domestic Drug Control Policy" http://mysite.verizon.net/aahpat/i/crsterrordrugs.pdf

Summary: "The international traffic in illicit drugs contributes to terrorist risk through at least five mechanisms: supplying cash, creating chaos and instability, supporting corruption, providing "cover" and sustaining common infrastructures for illicit activity, and competing for law enforcement and intelligence attention. Of these, cash and chaos are likely to be the two most important."

Conclusion: "American drug policy is not, and should not be, driven entirely, or even primarily, by the need to reduce the contribution of drug abuse to our vulnerability to terrorist action. There are too many other goals to be served by the drug abuse control effort."

"Creating chaos and instability" in the world is accepted and expected collateral damage of U.S. government policies. Bush admitting that his policies increase instability is a non-story.

I have lost all hope that there are any constitutional and democratic means to prevent the drug war policy from destroying America's constitution, democracy, public safety, public health and national security.

He generally stayed on message but not always.  For example, there was this exchange with correspondent Scott Pelley:

Pelley mentioned to Mr. Bush that thousands of those troops have served two, three and even four tours already and if he would impose a limit. . .

"In Vietnam as you know, you served 365 and you were done," Pelley remarks.

"This is a different situation. This is a volunteer army. In Vietnam, it was, `We're going to draft you and you're going to go for a year.' This is a military where people understand there may be additional deployments," Bush says.

We say he's nuts, but we don't take ours words seriously enough. He and Cheney are completely insane. This isn't a figure of speech. They should be locked up. As Digby says, this can't be swept under the rug. We have a delusional president and vice-president who are about to lose an entire American army and plunge the world into hell.

If one doesn't recognize and accept that the top two executives are truly insane, then one is delusional too. I put Congress and the MSM in that category.

They must(the war-profiteers and unhinged Zionists) have pictures of Bush and Cheney snortin coke off some naked hookers backside, ala The Godfather 2.

ungrateful wretches!

was saddam a world-class prick? you betcha! but, he was their world-class prick, not ours, to deal with, absent a direct request or a legitimate threat to us.

gee, i wonder why they might be just a tad annoyed with us?

I watched about 4 seconds of it with the sound turned off. I can't stand to actually hear him so I was doing some lip reading and I swear he said:

"America, we need more of your kids' blood. Uncle Dick and I, along with our oilmen buddies, have to drink it to survive. Please give us more blood. Thank you and God bless you."

We still got 2 more years of this?!?!?!?!?

"My Pastor says.." I met not-a-few of them here in Western N.Y, and I guarantee there were even more in Ohio and Florida.
