George Bush actually said...

"This is a real world situation, and we're not walking away until our mission is done."

"I believe that that cynical dealing of human life, parceling out lives from Christmas to March, has backfired on Saddam Hussein."

"We are convinced that in order to strengthen peace and security among our States, the advancement of democracy, and respect for and effective exercise of human rights, are indispensable."

"There's a precedent here that transcends the Gulf."
