George Bush actually said...

The situation in Iraq is unacceptable to the American people. It is clear that we need to change our strategy in Iraq.

They want to run us out of Iraq. The violence we have seen is a power grab these extreme and ruthless elements.

We will complete our mission in Iraq and leave behind a democracy that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself.

Saddam Hussein's trial is a milestone in the Iraqi people's efforts to replace the rule of a tyrant with the rule of law.
