WHITE HOUSE-WRAP
W Unedited at his Press Conference
The following are two unedited outtakes from the
rare press conference held by President Bush
earlier this week:
Question
You recently put Condoleezza Rice, your national
security adviser, in charge of the management of
the administration's Iraq policy. What has
effectively changed since she's been in charge?
And a second question: Can you promise a year from
now that you will have reduced the number of

In answering a question about the night last May
when he wore a flight suit and stood in front of a
banner that read "Mission Accomplished," the

ingenious, by the way.
- From White House spokesman Scott McClellan the
day after the press conference: "The Navy asked us
to take care of the production of the banner."
