I too doubt that Bush said: "Petrol", but he probably did say: "Addicted", and my opinion is that he has made a poor choice by using that word. A very poor choice.
"Addicted" raises the image of a drug addict, and I think that many Americans will not like to be placed in that category.
Yeah, they're making oil sound like crack or something. Next thing you know, some idiot in Congress will now propose a "war on oil."
Like everything Bush says, he sounds like an idiot. I give up on him. Newt Gingrich oh eight?
