Does anyone have a link for * Irish interview?

[slor]

Actually, I should say, a link that works? I have even tried the link at RTE's website, nothing there. Thanks

1. This link works for me (just tried it)

http://www.rte.ie/news/2004/0624/primetime/primetime56_1c.smil

You have to have Real Player and the connection gets overwhelmed sometimes. (guess a lot of folks are accessing it!)

2. I just went to the main website and walked through to the link

am viewing it now.

http://www.rte.ie

click on "EU-US Summit"

click on "Watch Primetime" under TV News (left column)

On edit: this is for the whole report, not the specific interview

3. saw it last night

my partner and I both exclaimed at the same time "isn't he being a bit snippy?"

wonder how smirky's snippiest is playing on the European networks?

5. He was incredibly snippy and childish

He cannot handle real questions.

I haven't seen coverage on the European networks yet, but the Washington Times reported (unsurprisingly) that the interviewer was rude, which was not the case at all. She maintained composure and professionalism through the entire interview, even while trying to ask questions and being rudely interrupted herself.

4. I'm watching the interview now. I wish it would be shown on the ..

six o'clock news on every news channel. The guy is stunningly clueless.

6. You cannot really CAPTURE his performance with the transcript

but here it is for those who like to read it. The White House does not have the video.

8. Europe must be rolling its eyes at this answer:

"Q Mr. President, I know your time is tight, can I move you on to Europe? Are you satisfied that you are getting enough help in Iraq from European countries? You have come together, you are more friendly now -- but they're not really stepping up to the plate with help, are they?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think, first of all, MOST OF EUROPE SUPPORTED THE DECISION IN IRAQ..."
