How Shrub abuses his power in office: BUSH: GO FETCH ME A BURGER Jan 14 2004 By Graham Brough PRESIDENT Bush interrupted a White House meeting to tell his chief of staff to go and get some cheeseburgers, it was revealed last night. After waiting in vain for an earlier food order, Bush called in White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, and said: "You're the chief of staff. You think you're up to getting us some cheeseburgers?" The story is one of further allegations about Bush's behaviour in the Oval office from former US Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill's account. He also told how Bush, flying over Palestinian camps in Israel, said it might be time for the US to pull out. Secretary of State Colin Powell warned the consequences of that could be more bloodshed. O'Neill claims Bush shrugged and said: "Maybe that's the best way to get things back in balance." Former US intelligence chief Greg Thielman yesterday accused Bush of deceiving the public over WMD, saying he had "twisted, distorted and simplified" intelligence.
