The misunderestimated  President US

If there is one thing the world treasures, it is George W Bush's way with words. And on his 65th birthday, here are some of the man's unforgettable 'Bushisms'!

1. I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace. --Washington, D.C. June 18, 2002

2. Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.

5. I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe -- I believe what I believe is right.

6. I wish you'd have given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it...I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with answer, but it hadn't yet...I don't want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I'm confident I have. I just haven't -- you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one. --after being asked to name the biggest mistake he had made, 2004

7. Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter. --in parting words to world leaders at his final G-8 Summit, punching the air and grinning widely as those present looked on in shock, Rusutsu, Japan, July 10, 2008

8. The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him. --Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001

21. I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to come and witness my hanging.
