"I MEAN WHAT I SAY !"
GWB


As told by the people in the room,
When a report that Saddam might be in a Baghdad suburb and capable of being bombed by Stealth aircraft...
George said he would not attack for 48 hours and by God I gave my word.

30 minutes later Dick Cheney had suceeded in over riding GWB's objection and it was Dick who actually ordered the bombing 30 hours premature to George's promise.

GWB was mute and only nodded in silent agreement to Cheney and the planes were cleared to bomb what turned out to be a popular family restaurant.
