I’m a war president.

George W. Bush
Meet the Press
February 13th, 2004

Nobody wants to be the war president. I want to be the peace president.

George W. Bush
Campaign Speech
July 20th 2004

And for good measure, this from today: “For a while we were marching to war. Now we’re marching to peace. … America is a safer place. Four more years and America will be safe and the world will be more peaceful.”
