"Whose life would be on my hands as the commander-in-chief because I,
unilaterally, went beyond the international law, went beyond the stated
mission, and said we're going to show our macho?" he asked. "We're going
into Baghdad. We're going to be an occupying power -- America in an Arab
land -- with no allies at our side. It would have been disastrous."

Bush said, "We don't gain the size of our victory by how many innocent kids
running away -- even though they're bad guys -- that we can slaughter. ...
We're American soldiers; we don't do business that way."

"Am I happy that S.O.B. is still there?" Bush asked, then answered, "No."

Bush said his memory of Vietnam influenced his thinking during the Gulf War.
He recalled that politicians during the Vietnam War kept changing the
conditions under which U.S. forces fought -- bombing halts and cease-fires.

He said his view was different, and it was a view that was backed up by the
secretary of defense and military leaders."
