Full remarks by President Bush regarding the "Money Trumps Peace" hoopla

A number of far-left liberals have been pointing this out as Bush condoning the possibility that money trumps peace. Reading his full remarks, he never even came close to condoning that possibility. In fact, he says money trumping peace hinders international efforts to sanction Iran for their nuclear program.

Foam at the mouth, my precious liberals. Foam.

Q: A lot of our allies in Europe do a lot of business with Iran. So I wonder what your thoughts are about how you further tighten the financial pressure on Iran, in particular, if it also means economic pain for a lot of our allies. foreign

BUSH: It's an interesting question. One of the problems, not specifically on this issue, just in general, that - let's put it this way: Money trumps peace, sometimes.

In other words, commercial interests are very powerful interests throughout the world. And part of the issue in convincing people to put sanctions on a specific country is to convince them that it's in the world's interest that they forego their own financial interest.
