ACTUAL transcript of a US Aircraft piloted by President George Bush with the Baghdad Air Control Tower on a flight to Iraq in November, 2005. Bush: "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision." Baghdad Control Tower: "Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision." Bush: "This is the President of the USA. I say again, divert YOUR course." Baghdad Control Tower: "No, I say again, you divert YOUR course." Americans: "THIS IS THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICA, THE GREATEST SUPER POWER IN THE WORLD. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE US ARMY CORPS, THREE MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND NUMEROUS TAX DOLLARS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS AIRCRAFT." Baghdad Control Tower: "This is a swamp. Your call."
