"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them,
and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did,
and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East.
If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come
and I will have to focus on them." -- George W. Bush.

Here is something from a "progressive" web site regarding that quote:

http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0630-04.htm

-Before you jump to any conclusions, remember that you are reading a
-translation of a translation of a translation. Mahmoud Abas does not
-speak English. Bush does not speak Arabic. If Bush said these words,
-or something like them, Abas heard them from a translator. Then Abas
-repeated them, as he remembered them a couple of weeks later, in
-Arabic. Some unknown person wrote down what he thought he heard Abas
-say. Then Regular, or someone at Ha'aretz, translated them back into
-English-or perhaps first into Hebrew and then into English.

As you'd expect, they go on to trash President Bush - but they scored a
point for integrity by mentioning this.
