Meet the Press



I thought Russert did an adequate job of asking the president hard questions on Meet the Press on Sunday. I just wish there had been more followups. The entire hour could have been spent with followups to his statements on Iraq.

A couple of questions I had:

Bush said Saddam Hussein was "paying for suicide bombers" and had "terrorist connections". What was the evidence for that?

Bush also stated that "containment doesn't work". What did he mean by that? Wasn't Saddam Hussein contained? How was he a threat to anyone if he didn't have any weapons? Is there an example other than Iraq where containment hasn't worked?

Bush characterized terrorists as "living in caves" and implied that they were foreigners. Don't we have terrorists here in the United States? Aren't they a threat as well?
