While golfing one morning, President George W. Bush was asked to comment on the previous day's grisly suicide bombing in Israel. "I call upon nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers," he remarked, returning to more important matters. "Thank you -- now, watch this drive."

[Bush was later criticized for his similarly bizarre reaction (he remained silent for several minutes) to the news on 9/11 that the world trade center had been attacked.]

[The original trailer for Patriot Games contained the line: "There's never been a terrorist attack on American soil." This was left out of the theatrical release because it sounded like a dare.]
