Quote of the Week


While this is not a recent quote and many of you have no doubt heard it before, it bears merit to repeat it again so that we can, as a republic, hold our elected officials accountable…
 
Former President George W. Bush
 
What he said then: President George W. Bush announced on March 19, 2003, that the war against Iraq had begun. He said, "My fellow citizens, at this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger."

What he says now: In December 2008, just before departing the White House, Bush admitted that the faulty intelligence leading to the war was his greatest regret. "The biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq," Bush told ABC. "" wish the intelligence had been different, I guess."
 
Sad phrase for a President to use...   "I guess."
