Bush Says U.S. Safety from Terror 'Up in the Air'

[Bluebear]

Given September 11 methodology, what a wonderful choice of words from our beloved leader. Oh, and....flip-flop.


==
WACO, Texas (Reuters) - President Bush said in a television interview the United States was safer from terrorism but whether it can ever be fully safe was "up in the air."

Bush also told the Fox News Channel's "Hannity and Colmes" show to be broadcast on Monday night that the U.S. government had no "actionable intelligence" pointing to a pre-election attack in the works as happened in Madrid earlier this year to disrupt the Spanish election.

"We do believe that they have -- because of what happened in Madrid -- that they do think about whether or not they can try to disrupt our elections," Bush said.

He said there was "nothing specific" pointing to a pre-election attack but rather "a kind of general intent."

5. What is Bush trying to say ???

Maybe he's trying to say that we really can't
win the war on terra, but maybe we can make it more of a
nuisance and not something that affects us everyday...
Seems I heard that somewhere before ....

6. Gee, you've had three years and bankrupted the Treasury, George

And you're not any closer to making us safer? I don't think another four years of your incompetence is going to help matters, either.

8. Kerry responds ::: Hannity will now edit it out

Boca Raton, FL - Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry issued the following statement today in response to the president's comment that it is "up in the air" if we will ever be fully safe:

"First, George W. Bush said we couldn't win the war on terror. Then he said we could. Now, in a new interview, in another moment of candor, George Bush said 'Whether or not we can be... fully safe ... is up in the air.'

"George W. Bush doubts whether he can make America safe. Well, I give you this pledge: As president, we will find, capture and kill the terrorists. It's not 'up in the air.' We will win the war on terror, and we will make America safer."

11. Does This Mean That To Be Fully Safe We Have To Be On An Airplane?

I didn't think there was that much room on Air Force 1.

Gosh, Our Leader confuses me sometimes.

Maybe he should just stick to talking about 9/11^TM.
