Why did Theodore claim that he took panama?

Former President Theodore Roosevelt actually said "I am interested in the Panama Canal because I started it", in a speech at UC Berkeley in 1911. It has never been proved but it is widely believed that he was very much involved in the 1903 secession of the Province of Panama from Colombia, which he had always denied while President. This paved the way for the founding of the Republic of Panama as well as the Hay/Bunau-Varilla treaty that allowed the US to build the Panama Canal and acquire sovereign rights to the Canal Zone. Bunau-Varilla was a Frenchman, not a Panamanian, and he gave the USA everything they wanted at the expense of the newly fledged Republic. Whether he was in league with Roosevelt and Hay was also always denied but the swiftness of support from the US Navy to protect Panama from Colombian reprisals makes these denials suspect.

The important fact is that he used his experience to construct the first geological maps based on the strata and fossils that he found at the base of the canals he worked on and went to visit.
