Here's another great moment from the interview.

Russert asks W. if he's worried Iraq might become an extremist Islamic republic along the lines of Iran.

W says:
"They're not going to develop that. And the reason I can say that is because I'm very aware of this basic law they're writing. They're not going to develop that because right here in the Oval Office I sat down with Mr. Pachachi and Chalabi and al Hakim, people from different parts of the country that have made the firm commitment, that they want a constitution eventually written that recognizes minority rights and freedom of religion."

Welll, thank God that's all ironed out. Add this to the list of things that W. has 'no doubt' about.
