Rose Garden press conference with Iraqi intermim prime minister Allawi.
PRESIDENT BUSH: I saw a poll that said the right track/wrong track in Iraq was better than here in America. (Chuckles....)
He then went on to say "Seriously, though? You people think you're worse off than those Iraqi bastards? We're occupying them summbitches! We got running water and a working electrical grid. What's wrong with you?"
I agree: I'm not the expert on how the Iraqi people think, because I live in America, which is nice, safe and secure.
He added "Unlike Iraq, which looks pretty crazy violent from what I see on TV. Sure glad I'm not this guy." (Gestures to Allawi.)
I'm also optimistic that people would choose freedom over tyranny every time. That's what I believe.
In response to an off-mic question, the president said "What? No, I don't see the irony in that."
