kimkaliTheir aim is to seize power in Iraq, and use it as a safe haven to launch attacks against America and the world. Lacking the military strength to challenge us directly, the terrorists have chosen the weapon of fear. When they murder children at a school in Beslan, or blow up commuters in London, or behead a bound captive, the terrorists hope these horrors will break our will, allowing the violent to inherit the Earth. But they have miscalculated: We love our freedom, and we will fight to keep it. (Applause.)
aka as the slogan says, "Fighting for peace is like f@cking for virginity"
. . .
America rejects the false comfort of isolationism. We are the nation that saved liberty in Europe, and liberated death camps, and helped raise up democracies, and faced down an evil empire. Once again, we accept the call of history to deliver the oppressed and move this world toward peace. We remain on the offensive against terror networks. We have killed or captured many of their leaders -- and for the others, their day will come.
aka Pearl Harbour II - The Two Towers
...
The road of victory is the road that will take our troops home. As we make progress on the ground, and Iraqi forces increasingly take the lead, we should be able to further decrease our troop levels -- but those decisions will be made by our military commanders, not by politicians in Washington, D.C. (Applause.)
aka buck passing
...
"allowing the violent to inherit the Earth" actually had me laughing... "saved liberty in Europe" had me gnashing and oh the d@mn hypocrasy!!!!

Sugar coated, full of holes, roundabout (repetitive) and ultimately sickening.

Date: 2006-02-01 11:56 am (UTC)it really is worth reading - it's quite funny, so long as your not eating and don't have anyhting sharp to throw.
(eg 22-percent increase in clean-energy research = 22% of what? 22% more ov very little is still not much).

It all seems so underhand now... just so much open showmanship... maybe Demolitian Man was a little too accurate ~fear~

Date: 2006-02-01 12:00 pm (UTC)I'd love to watch him tell my (ex SAS, as in the original unit formed during WW2) uncle Vic that it was America who liberated the victims of the camps...
Especially since Bush Snr Snr (ie W's Grampa) contributed funds to the Nazi party and the German war effort!
Rejects the false comfort of isolationism? Is that why the fucking chimp didn't even have a passport until daddy bought him a presidency?

The "hindsight is not the same as wisdom" line is great too - it really is a whiny response to "how could we know!?!?" and The World pointing to the obvious.
I repeat - Pearl Harbour II = 9/11.
So very careful with the statistics...
I just hope the East is strengthened enough to take the weight-shift when it all crashes over there. Global recession would be a Bad Thing.

Date: 2006-02-01 12:54 pm (UTC)*nods* Indeed. Whilst I'm willing to admit that American assistance was a good thing in the latter stages of the war, they bloody well didn't do everything.
