Don't try to twist my responses around like that, Allen.

I did NOT say that innocent Iraqis who got killed during our attacks mean nothing. It's very regrettable, and we did our utmost to avoid innocents UNLIKE ANY OTHER NATION IN HISTORY HAS DONE BEFORE.

But their fate was the result of their own constitution and the abuse of power of their leaders, and is NOT OUR PROBLEM. Nevertheless, we are rebuilding their entire country and if they're smart like the Germans and Japanese were they'll take advantage of it.

The detainees at Gitmo, as you know, were given good, culturally correct food, given time to pray, exercise, study the Koran, and every amenity imaginable. They are due no apologies.

As you also know, some of the detainees who were released have already attacked us again.
