| Description | President Bush offered no apologies Wednesday for his dramatic jet landing last week on the deck of an aircraft carrier, brushing aside Democratic charges that the trip was little more than a taxpayer-funded political stunt.
"It was an honor for me to go on the USS Abraham Lincoln. I appreciated the chance to thank our troops," Bush said at a White House news conference with visiting Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar. "It was an unbelievably positive experience."
"Not only was I able to thank our troops, I was able to speak to the country and talk about not only their courage, but the courage of a lot of other men and women who wear our country's uniform," Bush said. "I'm glad I did it. It was also a really good landing."
