Donald Rumsfeld is briefing Bush on the war. Bush says "Don, so what happened today in Iraq?" "Well, Mr President, we lost 3 Brazilian soldiers." "My God! That's terrible! How we will cope with such a loss!",says George, ashen faced and trembling. Rumsfeld, unaccustomed to Bush showing much emotion over casualty figures, asks after giving Bush a few minutes to compose himself, "Are you OK, Mr President?" Bush looks nervously at Rumsfeld and says, "Yeah, I think so Don. But tell me, just how many is a brazillion?" (From "Sunday Tasmanian" 2/10/2005)
