"You'll get used to it in time," said the Caterpillar; and it put the hookah into its mouth and began smoking again.
For months, I've warned the Democrats in Congress that I will not accept an irresponsible tax-and-spend budget.
--President George W. Bush in a radio speech last Saturday.
Cost of war in Iraq: more than $200,000,000 a day; including health care for wounded soldiers, more than two trillion dollars ($2,000,000,000,000) total.
Update, 2 December 2008. President George W. Bush in interview with Charles Gibson of ABC News: I was unprepared for war....the biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq....you know, that’s not a do-over, but I wish the intelligence had been different, I guess.
Mr. Gibson: If the intelligence had been right, would there have been an Iraq war?
Mr. Bush: Yes, because Saddam Hussein was unwilling to let the inspectors go in to determine whether or not the U.N. resolutions were being upheld. In other words, if he had had weapons of mass destruction, would there have been a war? Absolutely.
Mr. Gibson: No, if you had known he didn’t.
Mr. Bush: Oh, I see what you’re saying. You know, that’s an interesting question. That is a do-over that I can’t do.
