Oh my goodness, and this from the CHIRAC BUSH press conference that took place today, in Paris, France:Q: Thank you, sir. I would have a question for Mr. Bush. Once, President Kennedy said, "Everyone has two countries, their own, and France." And why is it that your policy tends to be pushing your country and France to divorce?
Second point, some in public opinion have accused you of state terrorism, and do you not believe that what has happened in Abu Ghraib has put you in the same basket, as it were, of Saddam Hussein, especially in the eyes of an international tribunal, and especially in light of the unfound weapons of mass destruction?
PRESIDENT BUSH: To paraphrase President Kennedy, there's America, and then there's Texas. Can anyone explain to me what "
there's America, and then there's Texas" means?
Please! :?:

Texas was a Republic from 1836-1845, not officially a state under the U.S. Constitution and a sovereign nation for that 9 year period.
Texas, the Lone Star State Fun Facts
Texas is called the Lone Star State because of the design of the state flag: a broad vertical blue stripe at left, centered by a single white star, with horizontal bars of white and red on the right. The red means courage, the white means liberty and the blue stands for loyalty. The star has five points, one for each letter of the state's name. The word "Texas" comes from the Hasinai Indian word "Tejas," which means friends or allies.
State Flag: Known as the Lone Star Flag.
Six other flags have flown over Texas. They are:
Spanish 1519-1685
French 1685-1690
Spanish 1690-1821
Mexican 1821-1836
Republic of Texas 1836-1845
United States 1845-1861
