Leonard Pitts Jr.: 'This isn't a presidency, it's a forgery'
Date: Sunday, October

By Leonard Pitts Jr., Baltimore Sun

IN MARCH 2003, the Rev. Pat Robertson tried to give President Bush some advice about the coming invasion of Iraq. Mr. Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition, supports the president. But he told CNN last week that he advised Mr. Bush to prepare the nation for the likelihood of casualties.

Mr. Bush's reply? "We're not going to have any casualties."

That was 9,100 American casualties ago.

The kicker is that Mr. Bush - who has denied the remark - stands for re-election a few days from now and it is not expected that he will lose in a landslide. In fact, pollsters say he could conceivably squeak to a second term.
