Bush Quote by Jeff Kinney
“I remember once I had lunch with George W Bush, his father, and Condoleezza Rice. Then I went home to find my dog and my neighbour's dog fighting over a dead rabbit, and I had to separate them. I like that my home life keeps things real.”

![“If George Bush [Jr.] decided he was going to turn the troops loose on Syria and Iran after that he would last in office for about 15 minutes. In fact if President Bush were to try that now even I would think that he ought to be impeached. You can't get away with that sort of thing in this democracy.” quote by Lawrence Eagleburger](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f71/lawrence-eagleburger-19898_bush_if-george-bush-jr-decided-he-was-going-t_38824.jpg)
