The Truth Will Out

Bush Misspeak Cites U.S. Readiness to Harm U.S.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush told a roomful of top Pentagon brass on Thursday that his administration would never stop looking for ways to harm the United States.

The latest installment of misspeak from a president long known for his malapropisms came during a signing ceremony for a new $417 billion defense appropriations bill that includes $25 billion in emergency funding for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we," Bush said.

(Have fun with this Freudian field day, folks!)

Rob,
How come the press hasn't had a field day with it? During compaign time, doesn't every little thing come to light? I would post this everywhere. Seems just a little too much truth to it in my opinion. V.
