And read the front page. George W Bush, cited CNN online April 2006
I strongly oppose cloning, as do most Americans. We recoil at the idea of growing human beings for spare body parts or creating life for our convenience. And while we must devote enormous energy to conquering disease, it is equally important that we pay attention to the moral concerns raised by the new frontier of human embryo stem-cell research. Even the most noble ends do not justify any means. George W Bush, 9th August 2001

George Bush to audience: I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in and I saw an aeroplane hit the [first] tower – the TV was obviously on – I used to fly myself, and I said there’s one terrible pilot – it must have been a horrible accident. I was whisked off there; I didn’t have much time to think about it.
News Reporter to audience: Now wait a minute. George Bush was told about the second plane while he was inside the classroom. So you’ve just heard him describe the first plane crash on television that day; but that’s impossible – no-one saw the first crash on TV on September 11th because video tape of it didn’t surface until the next day.
2nd News Reporter: At 9:55 a.m. President George W Bush took off in Air Force I with no escort or protection from fighter jets and circled around for the next hour. Why was the President’s plane airborne and unescorted for an entire hour while hijacked planes were roaming the skies? ... If Government investigators know nothing, how did they identify 19 men as the hijackers so fast from fake passports and with no DNA evidence? George W Bush, cited CNN News report
