George Bush actually said...

"Provisions in Title I of the Act... shall take effect immediately upon the signing of this memorandum."

"I urge the House and Senate to reach a final agreement that focuses taxpayer dollars on providing the tools our troops and diplomats need now, so that I can sign a bill into law as soon as possible."

"We're working on establishing chains of command."

"I applaud the Senate for its strong bipartisan support for our troops and our continued effort to win the war on terror."
