did bush really say: "We were welcomed as liberators....
just not peacefully."?

and did he say once:

"Why do you keep throwing the Constitution in my face? ...it's just a goddamn piece of paper?!"

1. I don't believe the piece of paper quote.
It's only at Capitol Hill Blue. It uses anonymour sources, and the writer is his own editor.

3. The welcomed quote is real. Here are the exact words:
Brian Williams: Number one — that we'd be welcomed as liberators?

President Bush: I think we are welcomed. But it was not a peaceful welcome.

6. Well, we WERE greeted as liberators.
Somehow, between failing to restore law and order, treating the locals like they were minimum-security inmates, then medium-security, then like Soviet inmates, well, you get the point.

They changed their minds. Still happy we got rid of Saddam, but now they're looking for a new liberator to liberate them from the old liberator.
