The interview where Bush LIES is around 3:24 into the discussion.

[LSparkle]

1. Another log for the pyre ...

[acmejack]

7. Well put LSparkle.

Gotta match?

[arcane1]

47. another fibre for the noose, is more like it

:grr:

[Bluesplayer]

2. Even if he's caught on tape

he'll get away with it. Who are you going to believe, the president, or your lying eyes?

[BlueEyedSon]

14. He could eat a live baby on TV and get away with it

[Harald Ragnarsson]

28. Like Bush or not, he is a decisive President

Other Presidents, like Clinton for instance, would consult their focus groups and polls to decide whether to eat a baby or not, but not Bush. Eating a baby is obviously what's right for America and Bush didn't think about it, he didn't quibble, he not only ate the baby, he ate it live. That's Bush, a take charge, act first, think later kind of President.

:sarcasm:

I almost made myself sick typing that!

[Karenina]

50. I saw this, ON DU

Last September. Are we on some kind of a tape delay or sumpin? :shrug:

HE ASKED NO QUESTIONS. x(

[zulchzulu]

5. I cannot wait to see this video

Sounds like Brown leaked the video...that's my guess...

[Cocoa]

9. "don't say anything yet"

http://911research.wtc7.net/cache/disinfo/alibis/washingtontimes_timetolead.htm

<snip>

The president noticed someone moving at the back of the room. It was White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, maneuvering to catch his attention without alerting the press. Mr. Fleischer was holding up a legal pad.

Big block letters were scrawled on the cardboard backing: DON'T SAY ANYTHING YET. The remarks drafted earlier would be woefully inadequate.

"The — goat — ate — things."

"Go on."

[enough]

6. Judging from the description, those must be some tapes.

In dramatic and sometimes agonizing terms, federal disaster officials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could breach levees, risk lives in New Orleans' Superdome and overwhelm rescuers, according to confidential video footage of the briefings.

Bush didn't ask a single question during the final government-wide briefing the day before Katrina struck on Aug. 29 but assured soon-to-be-battered state officials: "We are fully prepared."

Six days of footage and transcripts obtained by The Associated Press show in excruciating detail that while federal officials anticipated the tragedy that unfolded in New Orleans and elsewhere along the Gulf Coast, they were fatally slow to realize they had not mustered enough resources to deal with the unprecedented disaster.

Linked by secure video, Bush's bravado on Aug. 29 starkly contrasts with the dire warnings his disaster chief and a cacophony of federal, state and local officials provided during the four days before the storm.

Agonizing ... excruciating ... fatally slow ... bravado -- this is not the way the corporate media usually writes about Bush.

[donco6]

11. Just . . . f-ing WOW.

Even I can't believe he lied that blatantly.

[Harald Ragnarsson]

30. Meanwhile, back in Bush's America

Thousands of new trailers sink into the mud in Arkansas while millions of Americans sleep outside in the weather.

Damn the media for letting this go on as long as they have.

[The_Casual_Observer]

8. jr is great under pressure! Remember the "7 minutes"?

He's the fearless leader alright!

[zulchzulu]

10. MSNBC apparently just played some of the video

Brown was pretty upset and giving marching orders. The Chimpster is probably thinkin' about how he's going to some fundraisers in Cali and mayeb doing some biking...

Brown strikes back...that's my bet.

[Contrary1]

12. What does it matter?

Unless The gaggle of idiots representing us in Washington grow some gonads,
and do what should have been done a long time ago, it will go nowhere.

Just another lie to add to the legacy.

[MelissaB]

13. Well, well, well

I can't wait to see this.

[Blaze Diem]

15. Ya..and if only they'd have been warned of Planes Flying Into Tall

Buildings....they could have...yadda yadda..9-11...World Trade Center ...bla bla bla..

The Bush F*ckers DO NOT GIVE A RATS ASS....about this Nation's People. American Citizens are of NO Use to Bush Co. Dead or Alive..we are irrelevant in Bush's New World Order.

[hootinholler]

19. DING DING DING

Winner winner winner! we have a winner!

-Hoot

[zulchzulu]

16. MP3 of Bush lying to Diane Sawyer about not anticipating damage

Bush lying about anticipated damage from levees

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. Shocking, shocking, shocking.

What exactly did Bush say after Katrina hit? Did he say that this couldn't be predicted?

[ClayZ]

18. Pants sooooo on fire!

[zulchzulu]

20. Video on C&L

http://movies.crooksandliars.com/ap_bush_pre-katrina_tape_060301a.wmv

Nope...not one warning at all....

[phusion]

21. jeezus

un-fucking-believable.

[BeFree]

22. Ever notice how

....good news happens every time * leaves the country? Too bad he doesn't stay overseas, the good news would floood us.

Anyway, I saw some of the vid. BUSH KNEW! That is.... if he was really listening. There is a chance it went in one ear and out the other.

[zulchzulu]

23. Chimpy was on vacation at the time and thinking about Cali fundraising

He really has no clue or care. I feel that he has always had his way ever since he was a kid, so he doesn't even think about his actions or what people think...he's a myopic, selfish half-wit. From torturing animals as a kid to getting out of servig in Viet Nam to getting money from Daddy only to blow it on businesses to all the other failures in his life...leading up to now...he thinks it will just go away.

This is just another example...of so many examples...

[opihimoimoi]

24. Strong, wise, and concerned Leaders ASK QUESTIONS, the Pertinent Kind

Bush not asking a single question indicates he wished he was golfing....or napping

The Mother of ALL PETERS

[connecticut yankee]

38. Can he nap

with his eyes open?

Just wondering.

[Crankie Avalon]

39. Probably...

...isn't that how ALL OTHER snakes sleep?

[opihimoimoi]

54. LOL, I like that one....

[Lisa]

55. I was waiting for him to chime in with "have they got enough Bibles?"

The way he did during the aircraft crisis a while back.

[kineneb]

25. one wonders how blitzed he was...

perhaps he had no questions because he had consumed one too many and was staring at the pretty colors...

[lies and propaganda]

26. Murderers

Plain and Simple.

[caligirl]

27. very, very grave concern," Mayfield told the briefing.",, 34% seems high

When I read what Mayfield said, all I could think of was put W on the witness stand and put Tom Cruise back in that Navy uniform and grill Bush like he did Jack Nicholson. Bush is so screwed. The truth, you want the truth, you can't handle the truth Bush.

[BenDavid]

29. Remember now, Bush

had to get out to California and receive that guitar, and then stop by and eat cake with Senator McCain.... Oh if I were MoveOn I would run that part where bush said that no one could have known the levee would be breached and then show Max Mayfield's comments and then so bush just sitting there at the table with the voice over of, Bush asked no questions but what did the commander in chief do, and show the pictures and the dates of bush pickin' the guitar and the photo of him eating cake with McCain...

[opihimoimoi]

31. Anyone watching the news knew it was gonna be a Bad One...

Don't need no stinking meeting to tell us the obvious.

[scab_picker]

32. We don't need to show you no stinking meetings.

Obviously Brownie is STILL doing a heck of a job.
What this episode shows, is the unflinching ability of the top leaders of the Repukes, to shift blame. They are masters. Unfortunately, that is all they seem to be masters at. The Greeks called it hubris.

[Disturbed]

33. How can anyone with an IQ over 90 support this...

asshole? He and Cheney have to be Impeached and fired. After that both should be charged with felony crimes.

[PegDAC]

49. IQ over 90?

Hell, how can anyone not in a permanent vegetative state support this gang of criminals?

[sandboxface]

[zulchzulu]

36. Good stuff

I have a couple gigs of footage from that time...it is stunning to watch now.

[chelsea0011]

35. Jessh. Brown is the one who looks like he understood what

the problems could be including the disaster upon a disaster comment about what could happen with people who might be in safe areas like the Astrodome. That part of the tape was a kick. And there should never be any doubt in anyone's mind now that Bush can't govern. He is clueless and just can't do the hard work because he is lazy and not up to the task of being President. And we, here, are not surprised.

[FrannyD]

41. I believed

Brownies testimony.

[DUBYASCREWEDUS]

37. Why

is everyone surprised that Moron didn't ask a single question? When in the last 5 agonizing years has that dumbshit ever thought for himself or asked a question for himself? Everything that comes out of that twit's mouth has been written by someone else, put on a teleprompter or legal pad, or whispered in his ear. I don't think he is capable of an original thought. He sat and read "My Pet Goat" for 20 minutes while 3000 people perished. Why is it suddenly surprising when he says or does nothing? Obviously the microphone feed into his earpiece was malfunctioning.

[gasperc]

40. remember when they showed pictures of that meeting

to "show" America that Bush was engaged. Kudos to the AP for tracking down the minutes and video of the meeting. Poor Karl, so overwhelmed with the shitstorm create by his hate government movement, he couldn't get to the tapes in time to destroy them.

[Donovan61]

42. Freepers are unrepentant

I just surfed over at Freeper land to see how the morons were going to try to spin this one. If you expected anything like a human reaction or any sign of rational thought, forget about it. Here's a sample of their "thought" on the matter:

Who cares, a flooded NO is a good thing.

And the reason for that is?

*yawn* I saw Mayfield tell me the same thing on The Weather Channel - he was rather blunt about it. And? People stayed, some paid the price, and short of declaring martial law, the federal response was appropriate and timely.

This is much ado about stuff we already know...

[zulchzulu]

46. Bush could shoot their mom on TV and they'd say she deserved it

Freepers are such transparent reptiles.

It is indeed a serious character flaw if you think Bush is doing any semblance of a "good job" at this point. It's like being a fan of Charles Manson or Jeffrey Dahmer...'cuz they speak their mind and do what they want.

[Bridget Burke]

48. Bush could shoot his own Mom on TV....

And this wimpy peace-love liberal would be biting my tongue.

[savemefromdumbya]

43. Bush in deep doo doo

34% and falling

[jahyarain]

44. anybody keeping count of the murders this bastard has committed

:mad:

[Doctor_J]

45. Remember "No one could have anticipated..."

wasn't that the MSM's darling candidate for 08, Kindasleeza Rice, who proffered that lie?

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate these people?

[belpejic]

51. Bush is clueless

You know, on one hand I can understand how a chief exec like Bush can be casual about assessing the risks of the situation. On the other hand, I'm utterly incapable of understanding why he didn't reach out to his fellow citizens. We're all Americans, right? I feel as if Bush would be the prick on the bridge while everyone else jumps in the freezing river to save the person who drove off the road...

[FighttheFuture]

52. Great!! Nice to see video confirmation of our Sociopath-n-Chief at work..

But we knew all this already. Maybe some more kool-aid swilling sheeple will catch on, but we are getting petty close to the core base of irreversibly pickled brains and blatant greedy opportunist. The Narcissistic, antisocial and irreversibly stupid crowd, if you will. No changing their minds.

What does this mean? Now its time to start cleaning the Democratic house of the Liberman's, Chaffee's, Feinstein's, DLC Republican wannabees and their ilk.

[JPZenger]

53. Self Confident, Reassuring and Empty-Headed

In these meetings, Bush is described as self-confident. He reassures local officials that the Federal government will be on the top of the situation. But he clearly was empty headed. He asked no questions. He apparently did little to follow up. Typical of King George.

[neverevergivein]

56. AP is now covering for Bush

Saying they screwed up on the original story, and a seperate story that says Blanco told Federal officials that the levees were okay. This is so unreal. No one ever holds them accountable.
