As Told by the Times

From Fox News Political Grapevine:

Speaking of Sheehan, The New York Times reported, "[President] Bush has been careful not to go on a direct attack against [her] ... Still, he said last week that protesters like her were weakening the United States and emboldening terrorists."

But the president has never said any such thing. In fact, what he said last week was that an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, which some protesters have called for, would weaken the United States and embolden terrorists. He did not accuse protesters of weakening the country.
