George Bush actually said...

"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

"If anything, the National Press Corps was probably too deferential to the White House and to the administration in regard to the most important decision facing the nation during my years in Washington..."

"History appears poised to confirm what most Americans today have decided: that the decision to invade Iraq was a serious strategic blunder."

"The president said Larry Lindsey should not have been talking about those things."
