George W. Bush, answering a question from ABC’s Martha Raddatz about whether there’s a civil war in Iraq: “It’s hard for me, living in this beautiful White House, to give you a firsthand assessment. I haven’t been there. You have. I haven’t.”

The president has visited Iraq at least twice since the war began, most recently in June 2006.
