PELLEY: Did you see the video of Saddam Hussein's . . .
BUSH: I saw some of it.
PELLEY: . . . execution?
BUSH: Yeah.
PELLEY: What did you think when you saw that?
BUSH: I thought it was discouraging.
(...)
PELLEY: You know better than I do that many Americans feel that your administration has not
been straight with the country, has not been honest. To those people you say what?
BUSH: On what issue?
PELLEY: Well, sir . . .
BUSH: Like the weapons of mass destruction?
PELLEY: No weapons of mass destruction.
BUSH: Yeah.
PELLEY: No credible connection between 9/11 and Iraq.
BUSH: Yeah.
PELLEY: The Office of Management and Budget said this war would cost somewhere between $50
billion and $60 billion and now we're over $400 billion.
BUSH: I gotcha. I gotcha. I gotcha.
(...)
PELLEY: But wasn't it your administration that created the instability in Iraq?

The interview background reports that a majority of US troops now oppose the war (poll in
Army Times).
A friend told me that a national TV news story a week ago reported that US troops are being
trained without rifles. They get a weapon only when they arrive in Iraq. Why? Because the US
Army lacks $100 million dollars and can't afford equipment for training.
