George Bush actually said...

"The story today is going to be very discouraging to the American people."

"If they are moving weapons inside Iraq that will hurt the cause of democracy and, more particularly, hurt our soldiers, we will take care of business there."

"If somebody's trying to harm our troops, or stop us from achieving our goal, or killing innocent citizens in Iraq, that we will stop them."

"Most people recognize that failure would be a disaster for the United States. And, in that I'm the decision-maker, I had to come up with a way forward that precluded disaster."
