Thanks for the transcript , the quote When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it as well as After my experience, I have come to hate war. War settles nothing, on their own or paired, appear to be fabrications.

Or at least very hard to find. You know, it did take me quite a while to locate that UCSB archive. For some reason, Google doesn't index it properly for searching. UCSB does quite well at the news conference archives but speeches and other stuff don't go back very far.

That said, there's nothing wrong with demanding the source for these quotes which float around. I had that one recently of Bush on his relative indifference to the capture of Osama. While I found a press conference that did say virtually the same things, the actual quote which floated around turned out to be bogus. If I hadn't been challenged on it, I wouldn't have known. The Lefty sites are creating a lot of bogus stuff to float around and then quote it endlessly, causing it to have a bazillion hits in Google which fools people into thinking it is a real quote. The Snopes forum does some good work exposing these false quotes.

Maybe one of these days, we'll see a FalseQuotes.com website dedicated to weeding out the true from the false. Maybe a Wiki project. I find trying to search Snopes to be too unwieldy at times.
