No results found for "America is indispensable for the world" -george -bush.

The only person recorded as using the expression is George W Bush.

George W Bush was claiming they were the words of Winston Churchill. They weren't.

George W Bush is still just as misunderestimated as ever. What a wally.

"America is indispensable for the world. The price of greatness is responsibility,""

Churchill did say " The price of greatness is responsibility,"

IT was apparently dreamed up as a slogan after the Cold was was declared officially over. Where bush got it, may never be known. One of his illustrious speech writers, no doubt.
