From a Press Conference at the White House:
(For President Bush) -- humanitarian aid to Lebanon. Yet there's also reports that your administration are speeding up delivery of laser-guided missiles to Israel and bunker-buster bombs. And do you see this -- if this is true, do you see it as contradictory? On one hand, you allow Israel to kill people, and civilian, in particular, and on the other hand, you're trying to aid the very people that have been suffering and killed as a result?
PRESIDENT BUSH: No, I don't see a contradiction in us honoring commitments we made prior to Hezbollah attacks into Israeli territory. And I -- like the Prime Minister, I'm concerned about loss of innocent life, and we will do everything we can to help move equipment -- I mean, food and medicines to help the people who have been displaced and the people who suffer.
I, for one, do not believe that he cares one whit for who gets killed, no matter if they are Israelis, Lebanese, Palestinians, Americans, civilians or combatants. Some of the right wing nuts have claimed that our "precision-guided" bombs will save civilian lives!
They are truly sick, sick people.
