As I have heard Bush say, only a wartime president is likely to achieve greatness, in part because the epochal upheavals of war provide the opportunity for transformative change of the kind Bush hoped to achieve. In Iraq, Bush saw his opportunity to create a legacy of greatness.

Waging an unnecessary war is a grave mistake.

I'm done with my job. It was my job to be the advocate and spokesman for the President of the United States.

In survey after survey, the Iraqi people say, 'We want to choose our leaders.'

Isn't it my right to talk and say what I want to?

I was raised on the values of speaking up and making a positive difference in a very political family that believed in the importance of public service.

Well, uh, all people - all, I think all human begins, uh, have good attributes, and they also have their flaws.
