Kinetic?

What does G.W.Bush think "kinetic" means? Does he believe it has something to do with Kineticut? Is Osama hiding out in Bridgeport?

Wednesday, September 13, 2006 10:26 AM

Uh oh...

By revealing the "Guess What?/Kinetic Action Strategy," isn't the president providing aid and comfort to the enemy?

???????....

With comments like that, it must be tough to work at the WH and understand what the "decider" says. But I guess the WH staff has learned to interpret them anyway that they want! But then, does that still leave W. as the "decider"?

What You Say Mr. President?

Bush was probably just misquoting something someone told him at a meeting. I get the impression he does that a lot.

100,000 troops there in Pakistan is not the answer. It's someone saying 'Guess what?' and then the kinetic action begins

No soap...radio

" it's better to be lucky than good in the hunt for Osama bin Laden..."

Bush's chance at lucky ended with the daily breifing he ignored warning of Osama's determination to attack us. Covering your ass here Geroge?

Typical

He expects Osama to be handed to him the way everything else in his life has been handed to him. Big surprise.

Remember?

We almost had him, we'll get him in a few weeks(back in 2002), now in a sense : Who needs him! How times change.

Look past the BushSpeak

Like everyone, I'm very curious to know what Bush (thought he) meant by "kinetic", but isn't he also saying that intelligence is more effective than military force in fighting terr'ism?

Bush: Underpants Gnome

Step 1: "Guess what?"

Step 2: ????

Step 3: Kinetic Profit!
