Yesterday's diary about Bush 41's letter to Wilson

Didn't catch it all, but the letter said something along these lines:


Dear Joe,

I have read and agree with most of your article. I hope Saddam backs down this time.... Further, you know that I have a lot of respect for you...

Sd

George H. W. Bush

UPDATE: From Blitzer's transcripts:
"Dear Joe: I read your fascinating article, and I agree with a lot of it. I am not sure Saddam Hussein will back down in the face of this latest challenge, but I certainly hope he will. Further, let me conclude by saying thank you very much for your letter. Further, I have great respect for you and for your service to our country. I hope you know that. Warm regards, George Bush."
