Bush Dismisses Bloodshed In Iraq As “Just A Comma”

BLITZER: Let’s move on and talk a little bit about Iraq. Because this is a huge, huge
issue, as you know, for the American public, a lot of concern that perhaps they
are on the verge of a civil war - if not already a civil war - We see these horrible
bodies showing up. Tortured, mutilation. The Shia and the Sunni, the Iranians
apparently having a negative role. Of course, al Qaeda in Iraq is still operating.

BUSH: Yes, you see - you see it on TV, and that’s the power of an enemy that is
willing to kill innocent people. But there’s also an unbelievable will and resiliency
by the Iraqi people … Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people
when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma
because there is - my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy.
