I am still reading this transcript, but I just love this answer from George W's interview with the Washington Post.
The Post: In Iraq, there’s been a steady stream of surprises. We weren’t welcomed as liberators, as Vice President Cheney had talked about. We haven’t found the weapons of mass destruction as predicted. The postwar process hasn’t gone as well as some had hoped. Why hasn’t anyone been held accountable, either through firings or demotions, for what some people see as mistakes or misjudgments?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we had an accountability moment, and that’s called the 2004 election. And the American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me, for which I’m grateful.
Special thanks to No Left Turns
As I read further, this is a terrific exchange that shows why you gotta love G. W. Bush (I guess unless you don't love G.W. Bush):
The Post: Why do you think [Osama] bin Laden has not been caught?
THE PRESIDENT: Because he's hiding.
