Satire: George Bush's Little Pretzel Book

The following are excerpts from the soon-to-be-published Little Pretzel Book. This condensed collection of quotes pertaining to George W. Bush — taken from speeches, interviews and op-ed pieces — has an introduction by Saddam Hussein.

"Historically, all great powers on the verge of downfall invariably conduct a last desperate high-tech struggle against starving, blockaded, armless, defenseless, already-destroyed nations, and one is apt to be deluded for a time by this shock and awe of outward strength."

"As far as my own desire is concerned, I don't want to fight even for a single day."

Dubya speaking on Global Warming in an interview with Michael Crichton in National Review (June, 2003)

In a luncheon meeting with the fawning Indian Editors during the State Visit to New Delhi (March 2, 2006)

Speech at the inaugural meeting of the Natural Science Research Society in Crawford (February 5, 2005)
