Slip of the tongue [2.]

I was going to be facetious and say in the tone of an Ed McMahon rejoinder to Johnny Carson: "I did not know that" instead of Slip of the tongue [2]
But
Bush as made some progress in candor at a Press Conference.

There were two exchanges that seem to bring light on our problems more than Bush or the Press apparently know. Emphases added for focus.

ONE:

THE PRESIDENT: I can say with certainty that the Quds force, a part of the Iranian government, has provided these sophisticated IEDs that have harmed our troops. And I'd like to repeat, I do not know whether or not the Quds force was ordered from the top echelons of government. But my point is what's worse -- them ordering it and it happening, or them not ordering it and it happening? And so we will continue to protect our troops.

TWO:

THE PRESIDENT: It's an interesting question. One of the problems -- not specifically on this issue, just in general -- let's put it this way, money trumps peace, sometimes. In other words, commercial interests are very powerful interests throughout the world. And part of the issue in convincing people to put sanctions on a specific country is to convince them that it's in the world's interest that they forgo their own financial interest

Two brilliant examples where congress should take charge of their powers[the purse, war and treaty] that we address concerns like these at home before they become questions of foreign policy and the press refocus as well.

Special thanks to Rachel Maddow for covering things that are important. While I heard these earlier in the day, yesterday, and then found the sources.
