Bush to give 9/11 panel full access

March 9, 2004 | WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush will answer privately all questions raised by a federal commission investigating the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the White House said Tuesday, softening its insistence that Bush's testimony be limited to an hour.

"Nobody's watching the clock," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.

Still, he said an hour was "a reasonable period of time to set aside for a sitting president of the United States." The White House and the commission are working on a date for the meeting with Bush. The commission urged Bush to meet with all of its members, not just the chairman and vice chairman.

The shift came after presumed Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry accused Bush of stonewalling investigations of the terrorist attacks and U.S. intelligence failures.

to doctor all the papers. Remember Nixon and the 18 min gap in the tapes?

have him remove the earpiece..wouldn't put it past him to wear a wire and someone on the other end would tell him what to say..

there is no way he could get through it with out coaching.

Hello! Full access would mean unlimited questioning by the FULL commission in a PUBLIC forum. That is not what this says. :grr:

But according to the rules of this forum, I have to print the actual headline under which this article was posted.

It is the whore corporate media I blame.... :puke:

'bush* caves in to General Election frontrunner Kerry pressure'

So, I think no harm was done! :D

an hour just to say uuuuuhhh, uuuuummmmm, ahhh, I, ahhhh....

I have some lunar swampland I'd like to sell you. Real cheap.

Right around the AOL boards... plenty of them.

They will even pay in greenbacks!

Scary bunch, the bush lovers

but
he will still ONLY speak to the top two guys
not the full panel

jerk

I hope the panel lights a fire under the people
with their report
although you would think'
that the resistance of the administration to cooperate
would be warning enough

byt the way, 'idiot boy' McClellan today
whined about how the WH has given the panel
'everything they have asked for' - bullshit

knows no bounds. He seems to think the presidency is a lifetime job. He was hired, more or less, by the citizens of this country and needs to report to us. The lease on our house is just about up and we do not intend to renew it. If I had that man here and now I would slap him up the side of the head so hard they would have to take him to the hospital! Just a smart-ass pseudo cowboy without a brain.

Does that mean there won't be a verbatim record of questions and answers by a court reporter available to public scrutiny?

Access to some members only?

Note my sig line for that TOLL FREE number...

Please notice: they have been progressively worn down on this by complaining from the victims' families and people calling, writing, faxing, and emailing THEIR complaints as well. Constituent reaction. Apparently, bigtime. bush and company wouldn't relent like this if they weren't stumbling all over the increasing and incessant pressure from the public. Apparently enough of us have been making a stink that their hand has been forced, at least this far.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... no time to stop now, 'eh? He DOES INDEED need to give the panel all the time they need and want. He DOES INDEED need to take all their questions and answer them fully. Actually, he DOES INDEED need to do it before the public, and under oath. They'd expect as much from Clinton, wouldn't they? Dammit, if he's going to drape the flag and the shards of the twin towers all over himself in his campaign commercials, and morph himself into "Mr. 9/11," THIS is what comes with it. Just as surely as attending soldiers' funerals comes with the job when you're "commander-in-chief." Even an alleged commander-in-chief.

And none of this will happen without more public pressure. LOTS OF IT. You guys know what to do. You've made a difference already, judging from the evolution of this story.

That I PAID for?

he can find the time to do more than one hour in front of a commission that is investigating what happened to America's intelligence and why we are not stronger today," Kerry said.

Loved that Quote! Kerry really humiliated bush with that one! LOL!

Didn't actually make it to the rodeo--they're held at night on weekdays. Since it was a Monday, the stockshow was not very crowded, either. Mostly people who are in the cattle business.

However, he'd already spent some time at a Dallas fundraiser that day. Then went to a Houston fundraiser after his stock show appearance. Along with his merry crew of Delay, Hutchinson, Cornyn & Perry.

And we taxpayers got to pick up part of the bill!

It would be nice if the liberal media noticed how often Bush has flip-flopped.

Monkeys will fly out of my ass. Stay tuned....
