George Bush actually said...

"The United States will continue to work with the democracies in this hemisphere and around the world to support the struggle of the Panamanian people."

"We're here to salute democracy."

"I believe history will show that this hemisphere's democratic resurgence helped set the stage for today's electrifying changes in the Communist world."

"The news is irrepressible and inspiring for those with democratic dreams of their own."
