President George W Bush says he is not worried about how history will judge him, as he "fully expects" to be judged by his own version of it.

Speaking on the CBS program 60 Minutes, Bush said he expects to be remembered as a justly elected President whose major success was "the liberation of the Iraqi people".

"With the right publicists, my version of history will see that I have brought stability to the Middle East through a tireless campaign of death and destruction. I've been in contact with Fox News about that, so the signs are good", said Bush.

On matters at home, Bush said "my domestic policy has been to protect the nation from the fallout of my foreign policy. Aside from that, my version of history will acknowledge that I've successfully managed to get away with murder".

Vice President and keen editor of history books, Dick Cheney, is rumoured to be in the running to help Bush rewrite history, with a keen focus on Bush as an eloquent orator.
