Bush to terrorists: "Please give up guys"
Bush said the operator of 1-(800)-TERRORZ would
speak to his operator and get back to him within
2-3 business days.
"I think it is a fair deal," said the president. "If they surrender, I promise to only behead most of their leaders. I'll let the others stay at Levinworth Prison with Mike Vick. It is really win-win."
Bush insisted this is not a sign of weakness by the United States.
"Look, we have made major progress in Iraq. This is by no means a weakness. This is more like us saying, 'Hey, we can't find you. Come out so we can stop looking.'"
During the impromptu press conference, the White House received a call back from the terror hotline. White House phone operator James Phillips said he took a message from an angry man with a thick accent who said only, "Death to America! Death to America! Death to America!"
Bush smiled upon hearing the message. "Well, I guess we will just have to wait for their reply," he said.
Vice President Dick Cheney explained to Bush that the terrorist had answered him with a forceful 'no.' A stunned Bush softly said, "Oh shit!" and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
