"In an outrageous attempt to avoid a very important question about the private military security that is running around in Iraq, President Bush-well starts panting out of desperation and then said he needed to ask Rumsfeld. How can he not know the answer to this question? Even with the Iraq government in flux-he's the President. "
ALSO - See "trophy video"

Is he drunk?

And this guy ended up being president... how...

How? Never underestimate the Bubba vote.

Either that, or it was fixed.

Does GW have any coherent thoughts?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Wow - the lack of intelligence in his answer just boggles - can you imagine Clinton answering like that?

I can imagine Reagan answering like that... towards the end of his life.

"i 'm a....a.." IDIOT

he is an absolute moron

This Bush clip has much more meaning if you watch this Iraq security clip as well:

He's not drunk, but massively hopped up on Zoloft (see http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1845896). And the aw-shucks country boy thing is an act.. apparently the accent gets much more pronounced when TV cams are around.

It's more than a little scary that he can't answer that question. There was a really good PBS Frontline on this issue awhile ago. I'm sure they have it online... and it's definately worth checking out.

That makes me sick. Most of all his "aw-shucks" act.

So let me get this straight- PMCs are subject to Iraqi law, so she basically answered her own question. The fact that she went on to state that the Iraqis aren't capable of enforcing their own laws is... not really a question. So... at what point is GW responsible for Iraqis enforcing their own laws?

Hey, 'folks', as he loves to call you all, you kinda voted for a buffoon with some iffy friends. We kinda voted for a megalomaniac whose way of fighting 'the war against terror' is to do away with democracy and justice at every opportunity. Are the police investigating the Republicans over dodgy funding? Are people being jailed because they protest against government policy? Is your government seeking to jail people without access to a lawyer and without reference to a court? Is your government abandoning the legislative process because the legislative chambers aren't doing what they're told? Does your government talk to you like you're a three year-old and rob your candyjar whilst your back's turned? Does your governing party take donations from foreign businessmen and then lie on their behalf whilst closing down domestic factories to remove competition for those businessmen? Don't beat yourselves up, you know you'll vote again in 2008. We don't know when we get to vote.

How can 30% of the population like this guy. Is the last 30% his family or something?

The Frontline episode mentioned above is excellent. I urge everyone to watch it. I sent the link to this video to Frontline and to some of the people interviewed in the program. I wonder if they've seen it. Here's the episode:

PMC are individuals being paid in-country by the military. They are subject to the same laws as any other people legally in that country are. Agree with the previous comment: this is in no way his responsibility to answer. It's not actually a question.

Oh...god... I have no words for just how much I hate this guy

wow, he really blew that one

The question was no doubt channeled through some long-bearded Marxist dinosaur professor hiding behind the scenes. It was, and is, a spectacularly irrelevant and stupid question. Bush wins.

The fact that private security contractors seem to be able to act, and kill, with impunity is hardly irrelevant. I like the note of disbelief the laughter takes towards the end when the audience realise he isn't joking. Heaven help us!
