WASHINGTON -- Apparently baffled by the angry response from US war veterans to his declaration that he gave up golf out of solidarity with those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq, President Bush granted a follow-up interview with Politico.com, explaining, "Look, our troops are fighting in the Persian Golf, I felt that my giving up golf would have held great symbolism with our fighting men and women." When the interviewer pointed out that the troops are actually in the "Persian Gulf", the president bristled and said, "Look, I know my middle eastern genealogy. The only gulf over there is Gulf Oil and I know for a fact that there are no US troops at the Gulf station. Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
