Quote: the G-man said: I'm pretty sure Bush, and his supporters, have acknowledged than things other than hate contribute to terrorism in the past. Unlike his detractors, however, he (and we) don't think those factors serve as an excuse.
I've only seen them say "they hate our freedom" and other things to that effect. The problem with admitting other factors is we'd have to publically open the can of worms that has been our contribution to the problems of the mid-east and the CIA's training of terrorists.
Quote: In regard to the other matter Bush accepted responsibility for the failures of the federal government in response to Katrina (which was discussed on that thread, in fact), not the failures of the state or local governments. I don't believe that anyone here has ever argued the federal government was 100% failure free in the response to Katrina, only that other factors also contributed to the situation, many of which were out of Bush's control.
Wow, you're like a one man crisis just retconning the hell out of things. You should work for FOX News writing the scripts were O'Reilly says he never said something despite video evidence showing he did say it.
