Just caught a clip of Bush at an informal press conference in Idaho (he's still on vacation), and his answer to will women's rights be protected in the new Iraqi constitution was something like

Of course they will. Just what kind of freedom and rights I'm sure dear leader neither knows nor cares. In response to the question on if the constitution made Iraq an Islamic state:
It said a religion, it did not specifically say which one.
Way to pull a Clinton, Bush.
Billmon has more on the drawing up of the non-discriminatory Iraqi constitution.
Update: Atrios has part of the transcript, as well as the link to the entire thing.
