Posted by me previously:
Bush said "You don't get to decide when we go to war, I get to decide that!" (I think that's an exact quote).
Well, so much for my steel-trap memory... Here's the actual Bush quote:
"You said we're headed to war in Iraq -- I don't know why you say that. I hope
we're not headed to war in Iraq. I'm the person who gets to decide, not you."
Bush said this in response to a reference by a television reporter to a possible war in Iraq.

As you can see, the words don't sound as damning in context. However I have heard enough similar statements and seen enough actions from Bush and his band of thugs to believe that this wording does reflect their very anti-democratic, authoritarian mindset. Don't trust my judgement? Then do your own homework.
