Also, according to Snopes, the Barbary Bush quote - when taken in the context of the interview in which it appeared, was clearly referring to the endless speculation from the media about what might happen during any invasion of Iraq. It was not a dismissal of any thing that was actually happening as the war had not yet started. It was in response to a question by Diane Sawyer as to whether Mrs. Bush watched the endless speculation by the media on what might happen during an invasion and whether she noticed that speculation having any affect on her son George W. Bush. You can consult Snopes to verify this, if you care to.
