Bush: "I think we are welcomed [by Iraq], but it was not a peaceful welcome"

Yes, he actually said that, in an interview with Brian Williams last night on NBC Nightly News.

So all the violence has been a "welcome," just not a peaceful one?

Bush also said, about his administration's response to Katrina, "You can call me anything you want, but do not call me a racist."

Hmmm...can anyone think of anything to call Bush besides "racist"?

Although Bush said he "thinks" a lot of people in Iraq are glad we're there, he is counting on history to prove him right about the war. "I felt now and I felt then that we had the troop levels that we needed. History will make that determination."

Yes, Mr. Bush, history will make a lot of determinations about your presidency. So you might not want to put all your eggs in that basket.
