Questions reporters should be asking W?

[yurbud]

Read the SF Gate piece on Bush use of straw man arguments, so I was thinking it would be a good time for reporters to turn the tables on him, and frame some questions as lose-lose:

"President Bush, when you are impeached, will you flee the country to Saudi Arabia, or stay here and face possible criminal and civil charges?"

"When you invaded Iraq, did your friends in the oil companies, Bechtel, Halliburton and the defense industry offer to repay the American people in any way for this windfall you were giving them?

"Do you think Iraqis would be resisting us less if you weren't so obviously restructuring their oil industry to benefit your friends oil companies?"

"Do you miss Jeff Gannon or has Karl found another man ho to service you?"

"Dick Cheney seems to be in charge of our foreign policy and Karl calls the shots domestically, what exactly are you in charge of besides talking to hand-picked audiences? Have you ever over-ridden a decision of Karl Rove or Dick Cheney? If so, what was the issue?"

"You have shown an obsession not to make the same mistakes your father has, yet he will be regarded by history as at least an average president while you are already regarded in the world and even increasingly in the United States as our most dangerous, incompetent, and corrupt leader; in short, the worst president in American history. Since it is too late to correct this, do you consider your whole life a failure?"

and so on.
