    Bush Loses It In Front of Live Microphone

    Bush frustration sparks expletive

    Monday, July 17, 2006; Posted: 8:56 a.m. EDT (12:56 GMT)
    ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (CNN) -- U.S. President George W. Bush expressed frustration Monday at attempts to get U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan to do more to end the conflict in Lebanon.


    The microphone in front of the two leaders was live as they chatted
    during a summit photo opportunity.


    In the conversation, Bush also says he plans to send U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the Middle East.
    During a photo opportunity where there was an open microphone, Bush was heard expressing his frustration to British Prime Minister Tony Blair using an expletive.
    Bush and Blair were aware that the event was a photo opportunity and that the media was present. Blair later turned off the microphone.
    Earlier in the day, Blair and Annan called for the deployment of an international force in southern Lebanon, in order to end the spiraling conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
    The text of their conversation is as follows:
    Bush: What about Kofi Annan? I don't like the sequence of it. His attitude is basically cease-fire and everything else happens.
    Blair: I think the thing that is really difficult is you can't stop this unless you get this international presence agreed.
    Bush: She's going. I think Condi's (U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice) going to go pretty soon.
    Blair: Well that's all that matters. If you see, it will take some time to get out of there. But at least it gives people....
    Bush: It's a process I agree. I told her your offer too.
    Blair: Well it's only or if she's gonna or if she needs the ground prepared as it were. See, if she goes out she's got to succeed as it were, where as I can just go out and talk.
    Bush: See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this s**t and it's over.
    Blair: Cause I think this is all part of the same thing. What does he think? He thinks if Lebanon turns out fine, if he gets a solution in Israel and Palestine, Iraq goes in the right way, he's done it. That's what this whole things about. It's the same with Iran.
    Bush: I feel like telling Kofi to get on the phone with Assad and make something happen. We're not blaming Israel and we're not blaming the Lebanese government.

    probably study every movement his lips makes? LOL.

    Yep, that's our President folks. Isn't he a dandy? He sets such a fine example for all of us to look up too. But then again puppet's aren't suppose to be smart. Just speak faily good English and do what big business tells you to do.

    Hmmm...I seem to recall another President doing something similar. Something about outlawing the Soviet Union, and bombing will begin in five minutes...

    I'm in NO WAY a fan of Bush the Younger, but this strikes me as much ado about nothing. Whatever his other failings (legion though they be), he's right on the money here.
