(Reuters) - Former President George W. Bush, who spent years searching for Osama bin Laden, had two words for President Barack Obama when Obama told him of the al Qaeda leader's death: "Good call."

Bush, who has shied away from the public eye since leaving office in January 2009, spoke about the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden in remarks to a conference of hedge fund managers. An ABC News contributor attended the event and reported on them.

Bush said he was eating souffles at a Dallas restaurant with his wife, Laura, and two friends when he got word that Obama, his successor as president, was trying to reach him.

"I excused myself and went home to take the call," Bush said. "Obama simply said, 'Osama bin Laden is dead.'"

6. That weren't no freedom souffle!

Odd, it just doesn't seem to have that sit down and have a beer with GWB vibe.


rise n°1 is a 92-seat salon de soufflé and wine bar, located in the heart of landmark retail center Inwood Village. A relaxed bistro focused on the soufflé – the masterpiece of French cuisine – rise n°1 is the first of its kind, bringing the French classic to Dallas diners in a comfortable, casual environment.

And thanks to cutting-edge ovens from France, you won’t have to wait around long to enjoy one. In the spirit of European dining, we encourage you to linger. But if you have a time constraint, don’t fret … We can prepare your soufflé in the same amount of time it takes to cook a steak to medium. Bravo!


In addition to soufflés, rise n°1 also serves fromage (the finest selection of local and French artisanal cheeses), vin et champagne (flights of wine and bubbly from afar) and petite assiettes (small plates of classic French fare for every palate, from salad nicoise and steamed artichokes with sauce Andree to steak pomme de terre and brie & cornichon sandwiches).


Enjoy an “assiette de fromage” and a glass of wine in front of the fireplace on our outdoor patio. Curl up with a savory soufflé while reading a recycled French or American classic in our in-house library. Dip your spoon into a dessert soufflé and relish how sweet life can be. We hope rise n°1 becomes your “maison” away from home. … Mais oui!

8. Means nothing

This means less than nothing coming from Bush! If Bush woould have made the same "good call" in Tora Bora, this would have not been necessary. He failed and then decided Iraq was more important than Al Qaeda and those who attacked us on 9/11. Then he disbanded the CIA unit charged with finding Osama.

Bush is perhaps the least qualified person in the Country to comment on this matter!
