22 September 2003 - the people love me

No, ya see, that’s where you’re wrong. This is what democracy is all about: The people love me so much, they voted for me. And that’s why progress is progressing so progressively in Iraq, and in Afghanistan too. The people love me, except for a few bad guys, the terrorists who want to kill people or even to stop oil drilling. You can understand that we have to shoot them. Can’t go wrong when peope love you.
