State of the Union 2006 aka Why I rarely talk about politics
Their 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!!!!

*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.

The big long F word he usually reduces to "terrorist" or "muslim" and the little T word... bless him, when he does to the thesaursus there's only a mirror.
