BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
Many of the BuzzFlash Readers have visited our news analysis, "Bush's Groom and Gloom" (over 32,000 people through Sunday), and had difficulty viewing the videos of Bush joking around and getting his hair coifed before he announced he was attacking Iraq. You can view/download the videos at the links below.
As we commented in our article, "think about the fact that Bush is about to tell the world that he's sending our soldiers to possibly die, but definitely to kill innocent people in Iraq as our military bombs and shoots its way to Saddam. Think about that and contrast that with Bush's jovial, playful attitude, seen unfiltered in the Dutch broadcast."
As reported by Knight Ridder Newspapers (See: Link), "Minutes before the speech, an internal television monitor showed the president pumping his fist. "Feels good," he said." This statement, however, is not on the video link below.
If you want to download them and offer BuzzFlash readers an additional link to view the files, please email BuzzFlash with the URL and we'll post the link here. As with the 9/11/01 video of Bush at the Florida elementary school, we think this footage is important to the understanding of the type of person in charge of our country.
