White House Press Corps grows a pair
Of course, ironically, it was Helen Thomas:
"Your decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and Iraqis... Every reason given, publicly at least, turned out not to be true. My question is, why did you really want to go to war?"
He didn't answer her question, instead posturing and acting offended that anyone would suggest that a U.S. President would *want* war. But the room seemed to get in the mood, asking him if Rumsfeld should resign, and whether his domestic wire-tapping plan was legal, and if troops would ever leave Iraq. At which point he admitted that that would be a decision for another President. So, no.
Heh.
I hope Helen Thomas is still there when Jeb is President.
