I’m a war president.
You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war President.
“My image [is] ‘Bush wants to fight Muslims.’ And, yes, I’m concerned about it. Not because of me, personally. I’m concerned because I want most people to understand the great generosity and compassion of Americans,” he said.
“I’m sure people view me as a war monger and I view myself as peacemaker,” the president said.
