The Irish Interview

President Bush was interviewed by Carol Coleman of Radio Television Ireland in 2004.
The video is on the Huffington Post:

It is also on YouTube, probably under the interviewer's name or RTE One ( Radio Television Eire, perhaps?) or Radio Television Ireland.

President Bush speaks as if he were a teenager. This may be due to his absolute contempt for the intelligence of other beings, instead of a fault of his own. It is hard to tell. Regardless, the best part is early on.

President Bush says Saddam Hussein was a bad, bad guy: he had torture rooms! Then there is a story of how a large group of gentlemen had their right hands chopped off and "X"s inscribed into their foreheads, because there was inflation in Iraq. This entire group was gathered together and somehow flown out of Iraq and fitted up with prostheses on the right arms. Then they were presented to the President.

At this point, Ms. Coleman intervenes to cut off this Chalabian fantasy, somewhat irking the President, who soon comes back with the statement that:

"He (Saddam) wouldn't disarm!"

after being so instructed by the UN.
It is a macabre comedy.
