QUOTE OF THE YEAR

Brian Williams:

“A lot of people have seen in this series of speeches
you’re giving on Iraq, a movement in your position.
They call it an acknowledgment that perhaps the
mission has not gone as it was originally planned —
three points: That the U.S. would be welcomed as
liberators, that General Shinsecki, when he said this
would take hundreds of thousands of troops in his
farewell speech, might have been right. And third,
that it wasn’t a self-sustaining war in terms of the
oil revenue. Do you concede those three points might
not have gone as planned?”

President Bush:

“Review them with me again.”

Williams:

“Number one — that we’d be welcomed as liberators?”

President Bush:

“I think we are welcomed. But it was not a peaceful
welcome.”

Williams and President of the United States
President George W. Bush, December 12, 2005.

“I THINK WE ARE WELCOMED.

"BUT IT WAS NOT A PEACEFUL WELCOME.”


Orwell? Kafka? Lewis Caroll? Jonathan Swift?

Amateurs.

Haha that's perfect...I love that quote. That's like when he went to Canada and thanked all of the people waiving...with more than one finger.
