Bush visits Reno to stump for Heller in House race (denies being war prez)

October 3, 2006

RENO -- President Bush told about 500 cheering supporters on Monday that the country needs to stay on the offense in the war on terror, which means supporting GOP congressional candidate Dean Heller and others like him on Election Day.

"There's a difference of opinion in Washington," Bush said. "If you listen closely to some of the leaders of the Democrat party, it sounds like, it sounds like they think the best way to protect the American people is to wait until we're attacked again. That's not the way it's going to be under my administration.

"I didn't want to be a war president," Bush said during the 23-minute speech at an airplane hanger at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport.

The events of Sept. 11, 2001, forced him to act, he said.

2. terrorism to Spain? must have said that for the Bascoes in Nevada
snip...

After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Bush said, it became clear the country is fighting an enemy who will kill to achieve political objectives. The terrorists want to create a caliphate from Indonesia to Spain, Bush said.

"I'm not making this up," he said.

3. "I'm not making this up", I can't believe he said that....
he sounds like a child making an excuse when the child has done something wrong. I still find it unbelievable that someone as stupid as Bush is the president of this country.

Subject: RE: Sunday

I was sitting yesterday with Karl Rove, Bush's top advisor, at the NCAA basketball game, discussing Israel when this email came in. I showed it to him. It seems that the President was very sad to have to come out negatively regarding Israel, but that they needed to mollify the Arabs for the upcoming war on Iraq. That did not seem to work anyway. Bush seems to love Sharon and Israel, and thinks Arabfat , is nothing but a liar. I thought I'd pass that on.
