In Interview, a Little Help on Chechnya
Friday, November 19, 1999; Page A34
Texas Gov. George W. Bush has spent much of this week
promoting the foreign policy speech he will deliver today in
California, giving numerous interviews to television and print journalists to talk about his worldview.
In a telephone interview with the Associated Press on
Tuesday, the Republican presidential front-runner read from a draft of his speech that said he would take action "if the Russian government attacks innocent women and children in Chechnya."
Asked whether that was now happening, Bush moved the phone away from his mouth and shouted, "They are attacking women and children, aren't they?"
Answer in hand, he resumed the interview and said, "Condi Rice is shaking her head in agreement."
