George Bush actually said...

"It's really sad, where people are willing to take innocent life in order to stop that progress. As a matter of fact, it's pathetic."

"Syria needs to be held to account. Syria is housing the militant wing of Hamas. Hezbollah has got an active presence in Syria."

"Israel has a right to defend herself. Every nation must defend herself against terrorist attacks and the killing of innocent life."

"The Bush administration sees Syria and Iran behind Hezbollah's attacks as well as being behind the insurgency in Iraq, making this a dangerous and crucial moment for the United States."
