I think I missed something. Maybe something I said has been misunderstood. Never did I say "THE PRESIDENT'S PRESS CONFERENCE DENOUNCES THE CHURCH AND PROTESTORS!!" He most certainly DID say what I was criticizing.

he didnt dodge anything about the protests. he said pretty clearly that he is going to continue to try to convince france, germany, etc. that this is the right thing to do.he also said that if war becomes necessary, that we will all be surprised at how many people actually end up supporting it.

He didn't dodge the protests, but he certainly dismissed them in a very "Nixonian" fashion. His assumption that everybody against war is some anti-capitalist anarchist is pretty ignorant.
He seemed confident about turning the SC vote, which I find unlikely. Maybe I'm wrong, but he seemed to be holding a less hostile tone. He said "I hope he disarms," and "I hope we can do this peacefully." a lot. I think he has actually watched his rhetoric a bit more with the protests, clergy, and other UN nations turning against him. Good for him.
