"A lot of innocent people have lost their life [sic]"

besides being inarticulate, the man is the biggest enemy of my country... if i had a magic wand, i would wave it and he would be whisked off to the farthest reaches of the antarctic, where he would spend the rest of his life in a comfortably heated metal box, living on gruel...

In a Rose Garden press conference, President Bush blasted a new study that estimates 655,000 Iraqis died because of the war since March of 2003 as "just not credible."

Bush also spoke at length about North Korea, defending his record in contrast to that of the Clinton Administration, and commented on the Mark Foley Congressional page scandal.

The President wouldn't provide a figure for overall fatalities in Iraq to counter the study, but conceded that "a lot of innocent people have lost their life."

He also called for stiff sanctions against North Korea for its reported nuclear test, but indicated that the United States has "no intention of attacking."

The conference became contentious, at times, as reporters pressed him to admit fault in his own dealings with North Korea, which has insisted on one-on-one talks over the U.S.-preferred multi-lateral negotiations. President Bush defended his record, in part by suggesting that previous administration attempts to hold direct talks with North Korea "didn't work."

"It didn't work in the past," said Bush. "I learned a lesson from that."

"You have a better diplomatic hand with others sending the message," Bush added.

i am well over 6000 miles away from the man and he still can make me scream in frustration... just watching him makes my skin crawl... how, please tell me, can we possibly withstand having him continue in office until 20 january 2009...? i can't bear it any more...
