Bush Going For Broke With Troop Surge

60 Minutes Exclusive: President Has Made Up His Mind And Takes Full Responsibility

(CBS) 
“Most Americans at this point in time don’t believe in this war in Iraq. They want you to get us out of there,” Pelley says.

“I would hope they’d want us to succeed before we get out there. That’s the decision I had to make. I mean, there is, you know, Scott, there… I thought a lot about different options. One was doing nothing, just kind of the status quo. And I didn't think that was acceptable, and I think most Americans don't think it's acceptable. Secondly, we’d get out,” Bush says.

“You actually thought about that?” Pelley asks.

“Of course I have. I think about it a lot, about different options and my attitude is if we were to start withdrawing now, we’d have a crisis in our hands in Iraq,” Bush explains. “And not only in Iraq but failure in Iraq will embolden the enemy. And the enemy is al Qaeda and extremists. Failure in Iraq would empower Iran, which poses a significant threat to world peace. So then I began to think, ‘Well, if failure’s not an option and we've gotta succeed, how best to do so?’ And that's why I came up with the plan I did.”

Bush thinks the whole region, including Iran, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, could be in play. “No question in my mind these people have a plan. They have a vision of the world. And they intend to use murder to enact their vision. And I fully understand that, you know, some of my buddies in Texas say, you know, ‘Let them fight it out. What business is it of ours? You got rid of Saddam. How come, you know, just let them slug it out.’ And that's a temptation that I know a lot of people feel. But if we do not succeed in Iraq, we will leave behind a Middle East which will endanger America in the future,” he tells Pelley.

“Instability in Iraq threatens the entire region,” Pelley remarks.

“If the government falls apart, it'll invite Iran into the Shia neighborhoods, Sunnis, Sunni extremists into the Sunni neighborhoods, Kurdish separatist movements,” Bush says.

Asked if it wasn't his administration that created the instability in Iraq, Bush says, "Our administration took care of a source of instability in Iraq. Envision a world in which Saddam Hussein was rushing for a nuclear weapon to compete against Iran. My decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the correct decision in my judgment. He was a significant source of instability."

"It's much more unstable now, Mr. President," Pelley remarks.

"Well, no question, decisions have made things unstable. But the question is can we succeed. And I believe we can. Listen, I’d like to see stability, a unified Iraq. A young democracy will provide the stability we look for,” Bush says.

Bush tells Pelley he saw some of the video of Saddam Hussein’s execution and thought it was discouraging. “You know, obviously could have handled this thing a lot better. It’s important that that chapter of Iraqi history be closed. They could have handled it a lot better,” he says.

“I wonder if there was also some sense of satisfaction. You've had this guy in your sights for a long time,” Pelley asks.

“Not really. Not really. I was satisfied when we captured him, Bush replies. “I'm just not… revenge isn't necessarily a, you know, something that causes me to react. In other words, I'm not a revengeful person. I'm glad he received the justice that was due.”

Bush tells Pelley he saw video of the execution on the Internet. “Somebody showed me parts of it. Yeah. I didn't wanna watch the whole thing,” he says.

“Well, you keep saying ‘parts of it.’ What do you mean you ‘didn't wanna watch the whole thing?’” Pelley asks.

“Well, I just, I wasn't sure what to anticipate beyond the yelling and stuff like that. And I didn't…,” Bush says.

“You didn't wanna see him go through the trapdoor,” Pelley asks.

“Yeah. Yes. I didn't,” the president says.

[craymo2]

President Bush is truly out of control, and he has,in my opinion, tarnished the honor and respect that automatically comes with the Presidency!! He just does whatever he wants with no regard to who's son or daughter may lose their life b/c of his idiotic decisions. This guy has most of the world hating the United States, and his terrible leadership I feel is grounds for impeachment! If the U.S. can attempt to impeach Clinton for having an affair, then this guy should really be forced out of office!!

[jackejett]

Why does the media let this W get away with such NON ANSWERS? Why would a show like 60 Minutes even care to interview such a liar?
Did you ask him if he fears being impeached?
Did you ask him if he fears being thought of
as a war criminal?
Did you ask him how he sleeps at night knowing that thousands of innocent people are dead because of his decisions?
Did you ask him if realizes the damage he has done to our country is irrepaiarable?

AND ..If you asked him any of these questions, did you make certain he answered you.....or just mumbled some more talking points?

Jack Jett

[madgranny-2009]

History? We can see the things they've done wrong now! Once time and investigations uncover ALL the mistakes they made and lies they told, he will be crucified in history books. Once ALL the crimes against the Constitution are found out, this guy will astound historians. I'm sure they will wonder where the American people were and how they let their government get stolen away from them. That is if Bush/Cheney and the neo-cons haven't succeeded in changing the country into Stalinist Russia by then.

[junggifford]

Bush is being forced to face reality. The public has lost all confidence in anything he does or says and it is beginning to sink in that small brain of his that history will reflect the truth about his incompetence. But I doubt that it will make much difference in the short term since narcissistic personalities merely become more delusional when things go bad. I worry he and his neocons {emphasis on con} will do something stupid, or should I say something else stupid, before they leave office. Their world will soon start to fall apart {Democrat lead congressional hearings will headline this summers soaps} and these soulless people could care less if they took the whole world down with them.

"I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul"....George W. Bush June, 2001 comments about Vladimir Putin.

One thing George W. ain't is intuitive. But again narcissism compliments the ego as if it {he} were god himself. I am surprised it took most people so long to figure the man out. He IS the village idiot, made president because of circumstances due to family and political power. If not for those he still would be at his job as the picture boy for MADD magazine.

Isn't it ironic that it was Mother Nature that betrayed Bush's incompetence? And it was a she. Katrina? Even with his "religious" values he didn't have a chance when two women ganged up on him. A blow to patriarchy, and a blow due to global warming.

[cincigal74]

Why do they even bother to have him on the television?He is just allowed to tell more lies and make totally stupid statements.Then they never insist that he give a logical answer when they ask a question.He dosent have to wait for history,people are already saying that HE made disasterous dicisions.He says "dicisions were made"when the truth is he is the one who made those decisions."Mistakes were made"Bush made those mistakes.Why do the so called journalist not tell him that the whole world already knows that he is the one to blame for this disaster?He needs to face up to his mastakes and take responsibility.If this congress does not impeach him and cheney too,they are complicit in his crimes against this country and Iraq too.The media also are responsible.But they continue to suck up to him.

[cincigal74]

Nobody should watch this sham.Who wants to see an idiot tell more lies,while the person who is supposed to ask perterent questions,just sits there while this criminal tells more lies,and he says nothing in defense of his country.

[t7866066]

I have always been shocked at the ignorance that Mr. Bush exhbits about the world around him. However,I find it even more shocking that in this day and age of information most Americans believe him.

Mrs. Tasneem Sarwar

[pat153-2009]

Unbeiavable how this guy reuse to recognise reality. Iraq had no connection with Al Quida or 9/11. Saddam sure was a bad thug but so are many in the world. He was counterweight against Iran. Bush has given many reasons always with the political wind, WMD, nuclear, Democracy, war on terror etc to justify this inavasion.
Now we have the Shia in power who are running the country. Those in power Maliki etc lived most of their lives in Iran - where do u think their interest lie. When they manage to annhilate Sunnis they wont need US and will ask them to leave. Iraq will be totally aligned with Iran the moment US leaves Iraq.
Consequence of this invasion has been devastating for US.

[pat153-2009]

Many of you are right. Most of the jounalists will not ask the tough questions cus next time they wont get access to goverment. So they play along... meanwhile Bush & his adminstartion continue to lie to us. Imagime to remove saddam, we piad the heavy price of 3000+ soilders dead, 22000 severly injured, $500 billion spent, by some estimate 1/2 million iraqi dead and 2 million educated iraqi left the nation to escape the violence. What a heavy price to get one man.

[augwest2]

In response to Mrs. Sarwar, I do not believe that most Americans believe what Bush says. Throughout his Presidency he continually used fear to keep people on his side. However, after Katrina, Iraq, Guantanamo, etc. and etc., the curtain has been pulled back for all to see. The great "Oz" has been revealed as just a stupid, stupid man. It is a shame that it took so long, but I think the country will never believe him again.

[mh4cbs1]

Bush is RIGHT! It was NOT a mistake. It was very deliberate, intentional, and it was based on LIES.

Fake intelligence sources, fake WMDs, fake Aluminum tubes, fake uranium from Niger, fake Al Queada links to Saddam, fake mobile Bio Labs. ALL LIES ALL INTENTIONAL, NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT.

Now if CBS would just DO ITS JOB and CONFRONT this SOB Facsist wanna-be-a-War-President with the FACTS...

[mh4cbs1]

Oh yeah, AND FAKE color-coded security threats! (which quietly were discontinued after the 2004 election).

Talk about EXPLOITING 9-11 FEAR to start a needless War in Iraq!

[chuckspirit]

During the PBS News Hour, January 11, 2007, former National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski offered a brief view that current actions being followed and proposed by this president was "a kind of fanatical commitment, which I think, is detached from reality".

Detachment from reality, is not inconsistent with "Post Traumatic Syndrome". Recent decisions by the President may suggest the possibility that 9-11 trauma could be affecting the current decision processes.

[marley6simon]

How much longer are we going to continue to allow this sorry excuse for a leader; continue these lies and deceptive actions in OUR name?

First it was WMD, then it was the connection Iraq had to 9/11, then it was to liberate Iraq, and on, and on, one lie after another. Now he wants us to think we went into Iraq because Sadam was competing with Iran for nukes? Give us a break!

W stands for weed. Just like a weed, he has sucked the life out of everything he has ever been involved in or with, check his bio. Now he is succeeding at sucking the life out of our great nation.

Dividing us, ruling by fear, and disrespecting our constitution of laws.

It is time for us to take our country back. It is time for all of us who care about our country and world, to contact our respective local and federal representitives, and call for this mis-leader's impeachment.

Any honest person can not deny this, the man is dangerous; and wrong for our country and our world.

[markm8128]

Its amazing how long our our country has marched in lock-step behind the most stupid person in the country...Someone who has less than a third grade command of the English language....someone who totally ignored his own national security advisor, and went after Sadam Hussein...who had nothing to do with 9/11... instead of Osama Bin Ladin (remember him?).

Now the cards are on the table...the Iraq Study Group says adding troops to Iraq is futile...his own military Joint Chiefs of Staff say its a mistake....all the military leaders in Iraq say it won't do any good....So why does this deluded fool, who sits at is ranch for a full year of his term in office command any respect at all? Does he gain any special knowledge...sitting in his corner wearing his dunce cap??

[vriss]

I agree with mh4cbs1: We need to quit calling what Bush has done a "mistake". His actions have been very deliberate and have been based on lies from the very beginning.

[savards]

Let me be VERY clear. I didn't vote for Bush in either election and I don't like him at all. When Bush was leaning toward going to war, I was very vocal that we not go to war unless we could explain and convince the rest of the world that there was a good reason to do so because we needed / wanted the world to be behind us, and I'm still convinced that part of why we went to war was so the son of Sr. Bush could tell his dad that "He" got the son-of-a-b.... that tried to kill him.

That said, our arrogant president brought us to war and has totally ruined Iraq. I%u2019m am very concerned that if we stay we will have many more casualties of American shoulders and civilians in Iraq but I'm also troubled that we want to simply pull out and leave this country broken. I feel we have an obligation to the people of Iraq to fix what President Bush broke and wish the jerk would have the guts to tell the world that he was "flat out wrong to go to war with Iraq but we now have to find a way to repair the country for (my) huge mistake".

I don't know how we fix Iraq but it seems wrong that the president made a very serious mistake by going to war, and as a result, wreaked the country of Iraq and now America simply walks away from the damage Mr. Bush caused.

[savards]

Sorry, I meant to say soldiers not shoulders

[long_rider]

Why dosen't the press cover the protests against the chimp, there is an ever growing number of us Americans who want him impeached, and we see very little of this development on the news.

This idiot has to go.

[e6bond]

Many here comment about Pres. Bush's intellect and decision making yet none here recognize the FACT that it's the U.S. Military leaders and their Iraqi counterparts that are requesting more personnel support.

Everyone I know, who's served or is serving in Iraq, is proud of the job they are doing and see accomplishment in the eyes of the wonderful Iraqi people. San Diego County has the largest Iraqi ex-patriot community in the U.S. and the majority of those people that I come across agree that more troops should have been sent last year to end this.

Instead of commenting about the subject interview (which no one has seen in its entirety) most here seem to be a "*** to their emotions." One even commented, "I've been very vocal." Yeah, that's nice...who the hell are you and who cares?

As one of the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS who voted for Pres. Bush, I too see some mistakes he's made. I prefer to seek the right answers and seek/take corrective action. Not just merely show up on the internet and post invalid, emotional, and ineffective opinions.

Drop the %u201Cimpeach Bush%u201D B.S. Thing of something original and worth proclaiming like: %u201CDon%u2019t vote for Hilary, Clinton actually did lie.%u201D

[nattywho]

How many lies must you be told, e6bond, before you realize that you've been played for a fool? Bush has ignored the advice of career military and people who are very knowledgeable about foreign policy and diplomacy. His arrogance has led to an unwinnable position in Iraq. Even now, as he sends more troops in, he has opted for a much smaller force than the experts have suggested. The damage he has done to our military and the standing of the United States in the eyes of the world is simply criminal. And FYI - I spent 7 years in the U.S. Air Force. The majority of people I know who have served in Iraq believe it is a catastrophic situation.

[marley6simon]

If this war is so right, as the Neo-cons and Bush supporters say it is, why is the so-called coalition pulling their troops out? Why has there been no active support from our allies? The rest of the world is leaving Bush to face HIS WAR, all by himself. The only thing is innocent people are being killed.

"Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice I can't be fooled again." Isn't that what he once said?

But we have been fooled over and over again by this inept sorry excuse for a President. So who is really the fool, us or Bush?

[simplybilly]

The American people still do not know the truth behind the decision to invade Iraq - the Downing Street memo is still a non-issue in the media and Congress - the intelligence was fixed to fit the already decided policy - the decision to invade Iraq was made months before 9/11.

President Bush has proven himself to be a pathological liar - this is his LEGACY - and it is way past time for the media and CBS to challenge and investigate the Administration's version of the "truth" regarding Iraq, extraordinary rendition, warrantless wiretapping, war profiteering, initial staffing of the Iraq Nation Building Team ("Are you for or against Roe v. Wade"), Abramoff, Plamegate, etc.

[CBSTV]

George Bush is a major death penalty proponent and presided over dozens of executions in Texas. How is it he is squeamish about watching his foe be killed?

[rochellema]

Saddam was a source of instability, but it was
President Bush that opened up the gates of hell.
Worried about civil war in Iraq? Hardly; it's
WW III that everyone should be concerned about.

[lambcannon]

MMMM, George Bush and his miserable cocaine-inspired fantasies; the Duke "rape" case.... how 60 minutes is keeping up with the times! Pass the buggy whips and 8-track tapes!

[lambcannon]

oh and e6bond, if that's really your name, please note there are two 'l's in Hillary.

Be a pathetic, dreary mouthpiece for the most corrupt fools in american history, but at least stop blaming your lack of a *** on someone who hasn't been president for over six years!?

[b628537-2009]

It would have been a very positive thing if Bush said that he was going to have US envoys to act as a diplomatic brokers for peace to settle the disputes between the fighting factions, rather than to just say he is going to send in 21,000 more troops. It is crazy for Bush to send such a smattering of troops when to be effective he really has to send another 250,000 to handle a country of 30 million. What in the world does he think he is going to accomplish with 21,000 troops, particularly when he hasn't truly clarified what their military mission is? President Bush got us into Iraq under the premises of being at war against terrorism, but who do we shoot in Iraq? We already have more than 3000 dead and over 23,000 with battle wounds, and $400 billion dollars further in debt to cover the war efforts. The only thing that the president's current policy can conceivably accomplish is getting more Americans killed and wounded. It will certainly not do anything to end Iraq's civil war or hunt out terrorists. Bush has received much advice from inside and outside the government, advising him to pull out of Iraq. But he has ignored them all. Wasn't President Bush the one who said he talked to God about Iraq? Maybe it was an act of God we ever got involved in Iraq, but it is truly amazing how such an idiot ever made it into the Whitehouse and is talking to God when he doesn't appear to be listening to anyone else.. Get religion out of American politics and Americans out of a Religious war.

[skippp11]

I think Bush &is Dad started Wars they could't finish.Now he's trying to change our USA into a spanish speaking country.I and a lot of American's think that this is WRONG.Let America vote on that one.And he says he does'nt care what AMERICA think about how hes ran OUR COUNTRY,not his country .Nixon was impeached for less.Him and his Dad can't say they were good or even fair leader.One can olny HOPE we get a Leader that going to STOP Mexican @6 to11 million,illegals,6 to 800,000. Sorry i don't think Americans should have to pay for Leaders MISTAKES.....

[ashistabula]

I can't even look at Bush anymore. He smirks and tilts his head to the side like a dog. He looks like a chihuahua. Nothing he says makes sense and he never gives a straight answer. All he does is repeat the same unbelievably annoying mantras ad nauseum. Bush, Cheney and Rice are the worst broken records I've ever seen. Bush has no concept of unintended consequences and his attitude is that he has a pipeline to G-d and can do no wrong. He speaks in absolutes and never admits a mistake. Everything is perfect in Bush's world and even when the results are disastrous as in Iraq, he won't admit that anything he did was less than perfect. The mindless cliches that come out of his mouth are so delusional that it defies description.... It'll take decades if ever for this country to recover from the Bush regime. Just the notion of having a president with a different name, preferably Pres. Biden, is a turning point in history. The end of the Bush cabal in this country will be just as much of a turning point as 9/11 was.

[higglesworth]

Attention Scott Pelley and the producers of 60 minutes:

Whether or not you agree with the actions and policies of our president, he is still the President of the United States. You can show a touch of respect, and class, by referring to him as "President Bush" and not as "Mr. Bush". Just as in the military, you salute and respect the rank, and not the man.

[lynnhemric]

I started watchin that and he said i personally sign all those letters to the family memebers of casualities. I find that very hard to believe. How he puts his nose in the air and and his facial expressions i am so seroiusly weak to my stomache and i am for this more troops stuff but him i cannot handle. He can try try and try to understand what these family members of soldiers go through but u can't u don't live in there shoes. It's easy i understand for us to critize our presdient it could b anyone in his position it's just the way he acts and handles things that i can't handle anymore.

[higglesworth]

[cbslogin88]

What an annoying, onesided, disrespectful liberal idiot this Scott was. NO, no liberal bias here:
Are you sorry Mr Bush?
Do you owe the Iraqis an apollogy Mr Bush?
Your not popular Mr. Bush.
Your administration hasn't been honest Mr. Bush. You have no credibility Mr. Bush.
Most American's don't trust or believe you Mr. Bush.
Didn't your administration create the instability in Iraq?
How can you escalate the war when so many people are against it?

CBS, just listen to your reporters......

[elvaam]

Mr Bush is very candid with his statements and appears to be very genuine and sincere is the direction our military needs to take to complete the war on terrorism. Contrary to the public opinion that he is stubborn, my personal feeling is that the President is in a tough position with tough decisions to make and I would challenge any American to 'Walk in his shoes for a day'.

Dissentors of the White House and the President should perhaps review the history of this country before passing judgement on the current and future directions.

[lambcannon]

Scott Pelley asked about the democrat plan.

What about the republic plan, Scott? Do the republics have a plan, Scott? Scott, who's the decider Scott? Is it the democrat or the 'public plan, Scott?

Jeez, what a charade.

[gary4books]

The process of fighting a war makes the situation worse in the middle and either better when one wins or a disaster if it is a loss. That is how wars go. To say "things are worse now" is to focus on the present and not the future. It presumes that we can do no good and the sooner we leave the better. If that were to be the case, we should never tried to win. Many share this view. I don't.


I say that we should give the Presidnet a last chance to win for the USA. His plan has a good chance to win and will not cost that much if it does not. Secretary Gates has said that we will quickly know if it is working or not and can respond to events to our advantage. I agree.

This is a winter and the time for the "winter soldieers" to prevail. The copper tops can hide, for all I care.

[steveo19831]

I caught a short preview of 60 minutes and was absolutley disgusted by one of the President's remarks. When asked whether or not he was affected by the fact that he was unpopular with the majority of America, President Bush proudly acted as though he does not care. My question to you, Mr. Bush- How can you promote democracy in Iraq, when you, yourself, do not respect the views of the American people? You Hypocrite!

[lambcannon]

Don't respect the rank, don't respect the man. He is a war criminal and an idiot. He is "president" because he stole two elections. Don't like it? Just stay tuned to hate radio, they have all the dogma you need.

In the meantime, even the majority of braindead media-hypnotized "voters" have caught on to what a nutbjo this loser is.

More taxes for failed policies. Walk a mile in his wingtips? Liberal bias? Get back to Rush downloads and stay stupid.

[lambcannon]

Anybody hear the Katie Couric clip on Harry Shearer's show today?

She is more concerned about how the president "feels" than how our country's reputation goes farther down the plumbing everyday.

I doubt that he feels very much. Cocaine is a powerful drug.

[zigtozag]

Bush, you stated you were satisfied that we caught Saddam. I want you to know you were the only one satisfied. The only thing that will satisfy me is to bring my people back home now. I do not want you as a President any more and I will not be satisfied until you step down.

I mean you no harm, you are part of my country.However, I only wish you would accept the truth of your mistakes, you President Bush is killing our American people. You put us in danger in more than one way. You started by killing our children and by bringing the danger home. Its all about your decision and not about seeking wisdom and humbling yourself before GOD. You are one man, and who are you listening to yourself?? Or are you having voices that are guiding you?? You are making me wonder, you started out good, seeking the counsel of GODly men...I am not sure who you are listening to at this point. You should have looked at Saddam execution and you need to look at all the boys of America deaths, over and over again until you become human again. Well this is my opinion and the good part is having been born an American.. I am allowed the freedom of speech.

Step Down Bush, and bring our troops home now.

[gary4books]

"looks like a dog?"

Amazing pot of talking points and prejudice. I suspect people get tired of hearing that we can win in iraq when they expect political gain when we do not win. there is no point to leave when we have light losses and have not lost a battle.

The future of the USA requies us to win this war. "mindless cliches?" That really is in the mind of the observer. Wait for President Clinton to set things right.

[higglesworth]

Lambcannon, stay classy and ignorant. It suits you.

[gwenhale]

Funny, we see what we want to see. Personally, it is clear to me that CBS has become FAR too right-wing. I didn't see ANYTHING liberal going on. Why is Scott "liberal" for mentioning w being radically unpopular? With the lowest ratings of any president in history, including approval ratings hovering under 40% with military members, why SHOULDN'T he mention w being unpopular? Tell it like it is, PLEASE! Supposedly, that's the role of reporters & journalists.
By the way, how DOES w get to make decisions all by himself? I teach government and the Constitution, and nothing I teach covers our president having the power of king. Bummer about the Constitution, America. (Wake up!!!!!!)

[gary4books]

One last point to all who say "bring my people home now." That helps only our troops. I say "stop the violence. Then bring our troops home." That helps everyone. Most of the complaints are selfish and self serving and not all that brave. I see an obligation to restore calm before we leave. Then, of course, the reason to leave is much less. Do we have calls to leave Germany or Japan? I am not aware of any.

[dreamer72-2009]

I have multiple problems with seeing this interview.
The first and foremost is that I find it distasteful President Bush is trying to sell the American public on escalating the war when it is clear the majority of us do not want or support this action.
The interviewer phrased some questions poorly. He asked President Bush about the war with Afghanistan and launched into the war with Iran. They are NOT the same thing. I supported the actions taken against Afghanistan. I never supported going to war with Iran. The two are NOT interchangable. 2 very different scenerios. Afghanistan had terrorist traning camps. Bin Laden was there. And may still be there because Bin Laden is certainly NOT IN IRAQ.
I had a problem with Bush taking about signing the letters going out to families who have lost family members in Iraq. He who used the National Guard as a way out of seeng action himself in Viet Nam. Disgraceful.

[w8gph]

Scott Pelley and CBS News does not represent the country, as Mr Pelley so tried to present. I think that CBS news should report the news. Not try to make it. Sicking its big nose it an already stinking world and trying to make it smell even worse. Show the thousands of bones dug up where the Iraqi presedent had murdered. You think we should let that go? If we don't follow our leader you will not be able to go to your malls with safety. Get out of denile. Not out of Iraq. My son spent a year there. So I am not just spouting off. I held stock in that place with blood.

[darlenejax]

When will CBS recognize that it is President Bush not Mr. Bush. I believe CBS continues to disrespect the office of the President just as Dan Rather did and for this CBS should be ashamed.

Try to report the news and keep your opinions to yourselves. The american people can think for themselves.

[videobob222]

In the interview with President Bush, Scott Pelley asked a question about "His Marines",. Are these now Scott's Marines too?

Bob Anderson
Email: [e-mail]

[kydivad]

The interview on 60 mins. with President Bush was very disrespectful of our President. This was an attack and a poor interview. This 60 min guy does not represent the opinions of the American people. This was his own personal view point. We should be thankful we have President Bush and stand behind him. He don't need a bunch of pit bulls barking at his heels adding to this very stressful job.
If I hear him called Mr Bush one more time by the Liberal news , I think I will barf. He is our President so wise up before we have the enemy at our door step.
