President Bush is known for repeating himself but at a press briefing on Wednesday, his habit reached an feverish pitch as he was pummeled with questions about peace in the Middle East.

Bush used the phrase "Israel's right to exist" at least five times in response to questions about violence in the region. At one point, he seemed annoyed by his own repetition, or perhaps the queries.

Inquiries about Vice President Dick Cheney's current tromp through the Middle East were also popular. Bush declared that the United States will take action against Saddam Hussein of Iraq.
