Go look for yourself. He's obviously referring to this period in Iraq as "just a comma" when people in the future look at Iraq's history. Its not in any way offensive or demeaning. It may not have been the best choice of words, but I wouldn't even call it a poorly chosen phrase.

Typical liberal attempting to make a completely benign statement into something it isn't.
The link you posted is close, but I have still yet to find a source that doesn't take the comment out of context. I agree with shinerbock that Bush was saying that FROM IRAQ'S viewpoint, this will be just a comma...he was talking about how it affects the US, he's talking about how it affects Iraq.
