George Bush actually said...

"The United Nations plays a critical role in defusing international crises, resolving longstanding conflicts, and alleviating suffering, poverty, and disease."

"The terrorists attacked us, but they did not diminish our spirit, nor did they undermine the fundamentals of our economy."

"I told him that the United States was committed to paying the arrears it owes to the United Nations."

"This payment constitutes the second of three payments of arrears."
