Bush Memoirs Reveal Iraq Invasion Meant "To Impress Brooklyn Decker"

An unnamed Random House editor today revealed to a hastily assembled Manhattan news conference that the memoirs of former President George W. Bush reveal that the Iraq invasion was meant "to impress Brooklyn Decker."

The editor told reporters that Bush's "infatuation" with the then-teenage model began when he saw a photo of her in Teen People.

"He wanted to do something to get her attention," the editor said, promising that more details would be forthcoming in the former President's memoirs.

"He considered offering her a tour of the Oval Office and the Lincoln Bedroom," the editor told reporters, "but her parents turned it down. So instead we invaded Iraq."

A spokesperson for Decker, now a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover model and the girlfriend of tennis star Andy Roddick, said that Decker was "touched" by the former President's gesture but that "a simple call from the White House would have been sufficient."

The President's memoirs, which are expected to run at least 9 pages, are due next fall.
