Bush is vowing again…

Bush Vows to Prevent Further Prison Abuses in Iraq
Sat May 15, 2004 04:03 PM ET

By Steve Holland

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush said on Saturday he was determined that Iraqi prison abuses will never happen again, as he took stock of a difficult week in Iraq.

In his weekly radio address, Bush again suggested the abuse scandal was limited to those directly involved at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison. He pointed out that charges have been filed against seven soldiers and the first trial is set to begin next week.

"My administration and our military are determined that such abuses never happen again," Bush said. "All Americans know that the actions of a few do not reflect the true character of the United States armed forces."

And you know what happens when Bush makes a vow, right?

What's up with that, anyway

President Bush has defended himself against allegations that he was personally involved in business practices that are at the heart of the scandal engulfing corporate America.

At a news conference in the White House, Mr Bush denounced criticism of his role as oil company director before he entered the political arena as "old style politics".

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office will show that the government has to use $9 billion of Social Security reserves to cover the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. The White House estimated last week that the government will run a $1 billion surplus outside Social Security.
