The Two Faces of George Bush, White House Resident Email Print

Before the war we heard that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction threatening us.  After no weapons of mass destruction were found we heard that George Bush would bring democracy and freedom first to Iraq and from there it would spread to the rest of the Middle East.

Bush's response to the scandalous firing of some of the best federal prosecutors in the U.S.A. was commented on in a Seattle Post Intelligencer March 15 editorial:

"President Bush said Wednesday that he had confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.  But he `frankly is not happy about' the way Gonzales had handled the dismissal of federal prosecutors, a move that has spawned a congressional investigation into whether the White House allowed politics to interfere with law enforcement."

In short, Bush is unhappy with the handling of the firings but approves of the actions themselves.
