I didn’t realise, however, that he had a track record of speaking nonsense that rivals "dubya" himself..
Everyone’s aware of the “The Known Unknowns” bollocks (which is so inane it verges on genius) but here’s some more grade A nonsense..
On the hunt for WMDs: "We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."
On looting in Baghdad: "Stuff happens. It's untidy, and freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things."
On his country's forces: "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time."
On a speedy victory: "The Gulf war in the 1990s lasted five days on the ground. I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today would last five days, or five weeks, or five months. But it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that."
On Europe, in 2003: "Now, you're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't. I think that's old Europe."
