You all know Tony snow, the mouthpiece of the Bushco Crime Family! He had his usual press briefing yesterday which is always fun to read.
Here is a small sample:
Q I did want to follow up on the specific poll that CBS has just done, our latest poll. And it's one item, but there's several.
Q CBS poll?
Q Yes, CBS poll. If that's okay with Lester. (Laughter.)
Q New York Times?
Q "Should the U.S. set a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq?" Fifty-seven percent say, yes, that the U.S. should set a timetable for withdrawing troops. So I --
MR. SNOW: Well, I think the President has made it clear that you do things based on conditions. The President does want to withdraw troops, but you know what --
Q But he's clearly ruled out a timetable.
MR. SNOW: Jim, as I said in response to Terry's questions, I'll let the President announce where he stands on these things when he is prepared to deliver his remarks on the way forward.
Q But you can give us a sense of sort of what his state of mind is, can't you?
MR. SNOW: His state of mind is he's determined and he's determined to work hard on providing the right way forward. What you're asking me to do is to give a characterization of the state of policy. And I can tell you that it remains the President's belief that, yes, you want to withdraw U.S. troops under the proper conditions -- it's conditions-based -- and it is one you are in a position to have an Iraq that can stand up, sustain, govern, and defend itself.
Q Setting a timetable?
MR. SNOW: Like I said, just have to wait and see.
