George Bush actually said...

I thank the leadership of the Congress for joining us here to discuss the testimonies delivered by General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker.

We also had a church service earlier, and I thank particularly the Speaker and the leader for being there as well.

I thank the Members for coming and giving me their honest appraisal of whether they think we can find common ground or not.

It's our responsibility to ensure that we run our Government wisely and to spend the people's money wisely.
