George Bush actually said...

"We've got commanders making tough decisions on the ground. We expect there to be no strings on our commanders. And that we expect the Congress to be wise about how they spend the people's money."

"I have to admit, we really blew the way we let those attorneys go."

"The president is disappointed that the Senate continues down a path with a bill that he will veto and has no chance of becoming law."

"President Bush calls the vote, quote, 'political theater,' and promises to veto the measure if it ever reaches his desk."
