The Adventures of George W. Bush
You decree that Iraq to be the 51st state. Tell Betsy Ross to put another star on the flag!
Whoops.
Too bad you're not a dictator, because then you could actually make decrees. Here in the USA, you gotta follow things called 'laws'....and the law says that the people of the territory in question get to vote on if they want to become a US state or not. The Iraqi people vote, and the result is 14,057,869 to 7 AGAINST joining the United States.
Maybe if your brother Jeb was Governor of Iraq, the results would've been different.
Whoops.
