Quotes of the Morning
“I asked them the other day, would it be okay if I cut a 30-minute tape, a piece of propaganda, no questions, just here -- here it is, here's 30 minutes of me talking. Please run it, not only across your airwaves but run it internationally, if you don't mind. I've got something to say about the conflict and our fight against evil. They said, no, they're not going to do that. If I'm going to get on the news, they've got to ask me questions.”
-George ‘Dubya’ Bush, press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Nov. 13, 2001

On the contrary, it can only make them worse,’ Putin said.”

And where President Musharraf can help in world peace is to help remind people what is possible.”
-George ‘Dubya’ Bush, December 4, 2004
“As you may remember, ‘President’ Musharraf took power in a military coup in Pakistan back in 1999. I think we know now which brand of democracy we’ll be bringing to Iraq..”
