My GOD!!! How can people let shit like this go on?!
In today's press conference, a reporter asked Scott McClellan about whether the President will really be asking for more patience. McClellan's answer? 9/11 changed everything. not mention of Iraq in his reply.
See the unbelievable below.
Q Isn't the message really more patience? Isn't that really what the President is going to be requesting, something he's --
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I think if you go back to September 11th -- remember, on September 11th the threats of the 21st century were brought to our shores. We saw in a very clear way the threats that we face on that day.
And the President said shortly after the attacks of September 11th that this is a long struggle that we're going to be in, that this is a different kind of war, one which we have never seen before. And we do face a determined and ruthless enemy, an enemy that has no regard for innocent human life. That's the nature of the enemy that we're up against. That's the nature of the enemy that the President will be talking about in his remarks tomorrow night.
And the President made it clear after September 11th that some will want us to grow complacent and forget about, or put the attacks off as a distant memory. But it does require patience and resolve to see this struggle through to the end. We have no option but to defeat the terrorists, and the terrorists will be defeated.
After what Karl Rove said the other day, how can McClellan come up with such a bullshit answer such as this?
How can the "press" put up with such contempt and humiliation as this? I honestly cannot think of anything more humiliating than the way the "press" is treated by this administration, yet they can't get enough of it.
I don't know why, but reading this just really pisses me off. It's not even the most evasive answer he's ever given.
oh, and this was the very next question
Q Heard anything from the Supreme Court since we last talked?
