From CNN:
Bush frustration sparks expletive
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) -- U.S. President George W. Bush expressed his frustration over the situation in the Middle East by using an expletive in comments to British Prime Minister Tony Blair at the G8 summit in St. Petersburg Monday.
Not realizing his remarks were being picked up by a microphone at the summit of world leaders, Bush bluntly expressed his frustration with the actions of Hezbollah.
"See, the irony is what they really need to do is to get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this ****," Bush told Blair in a discussion before the Group of Eight leaders began their lunch.
Bush's remarks were picked up by the summit's closed-circuit television, which was filming the leaders sitting down to eat.
Normally, the images are transmitted with sound that does not allow reporters to pick out individual comments. But in this case a microphone picked up Bush's comments to Blair.
Blair, whose remarks were not as clearly heard, appeared to be pressing Bush about the importance of getting international peacekeepers into the region.

I like dubya.
As for Syria, yes... they have been meddling in Lebanon since time immemorial. It was just recent that Syria pulled out its troops out Lebanon but leaving behind Hezbollah as its underground-backed militia force there.

A very candid remark, indeed. Truth hurts, sometimes.
He might have actually just mispronounced shi'ite, according to Jay Leno....

By the way, the Philippines will have a huge headache on evacuating 35,000 workers (the biggest among all nations) from Lebanon.
