| Bush Condemns Jerusalem Bus Bombing |
| 2003-06-11 |
| President Bush condemned Wednesday a bus bombing in Jerusalem in the "strongest possible terms" the White House said. ... And now, for a more in depth report on the Presidents' views, we take you to the White House... "The President condemns the attack in the strongest possible terms", White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. A couple of years after the fact, we now have the answer to Pvt. Frost's great line from Aliens, "What are we supposed to use, Harsh language?" Bush was briefed on the bombing during a helicopter flight to Chicago, where he may address the issue directly. |

| #4 Unfortunately Chris, vagaries such as, "strongest possible terms" seems to equate to the final scene of another of my favorite movies, when the U.S. agents tell Indiana Jones that the ark was in safe hands, and top men were looking after it... Indy: "Who?" Agent: "TOP...men." and we all know how that turned out. Life imitates art, I guess. |

| #3 What exactly are "the strongest possible terms?" And why won't anyone actually use them? |

| #2 Sorry, but as much as I admire and respect President Bush, he did NOT "condemn this action in the strongest possible terms". That would be done by telling the Israelis "My government is going to be very busy on domestic issues for the next few weeks and probably won't even notice news reports from anywhere else. By the way, could you have the IDF field-test these new, improved Daisy Cutters for us? Thanks." |
