Free Iraq will be ‘devastating defeat’ for Al-Qaeda: Bush

WASHINGTON: US President George W Bush said Sunday that the formation of Iraq’s new government will serve as a “devastating defeat” for Al-Qaeda and other terrorists seeking to create unrest in the region.

“I fully understand that a free Iraq will be an important ally on the war on terror, will serve as a devastating defeat for the terrorists and Al-Qaeda and will serve as an example for others in the region who desire to be free,” Bush told reporters at the White House.

6. ya know, when I saw him say this on TV this morning

what was really chilling is this incompetent bastard actually BELIEVES what he is saying - you could almost see the I WILL BE VINDICATED! look in his beady eyes.

[Javaman]

15. Exactly, he* has that "I'll show them I'm not stupid" look in his* eye...

the only thing he* needs to complete the picture is for him* to shake his* fist at us.

He's* getting really desperate and that's what scares me.

2. Al-Qaeda will have a much easier time operating there vs under Saddam

Duh.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

3. Free to do what?? Decide their own currency, what they are

willing to take for their oil?? Euro vs dollars??? Run and own their own banks?? Free to reinstate their contracts with France Germany and Russia?? Free to live? Free to see wedding parties blown to bits??? Free to kick out foreign military bases?? They are as free as a bird in a guilded cage nothing more, nothing less.

4. And yet the bombing will continue until we're gone.

And we're never leaving.

Mission Accomplished.

5. Yeah, Al Qaeda really wanted Saddam to be taken down.

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

9. Free America would be a devastating defeat for Bush....

because he would be locked up as a war criminal and traitor to the constitution.

10. “I fully understand ---He says this phase so often lately.

11. let me see....hmmm what about

the saudi arabia,kuwait,uae,and all the other arabian countries with oil and natural gas?

[bemildred]

12. Too bad we didn't pull it off ... nt

13. Watch for the buzz-words.

When they use words like

Freedom
Free
They hate us for our Freedoms
War on Terror
The enemy

Cover your ears. It's all smoke & mirrors. They're data mining for people's sense of patriotism, honor and whatever we've got that can be mined, for their own evil purposes.

14. Capturing bin Laden would be a 'devastating defeat'.....

for al Queda. The continuing war in Iraq on serves to ensure that the U.S. will be hated around the world and innocent people will die.

[boobooday]

17. Yeah, they're devastated all right

What with the capture of Osama Bin Laden, the peaceful democratization of Iraq, and the way the entire world has embraced George Bush and his crusade for "liberation."

They must be completely demoralized by now . . .

:sarcasm:

18. The Iraqis had more freedom under Saddam than they have now

How many times have busses been blown up in Baghdad pre-Bush? How many teachers were lined up and shot pre-Bush? How many journalists in Iraq were taken from their hotels and murdered pre-Bush? I fear Iraq will never know freedom again.

19. Al-Qaeda already won!!!

The Iraq "war" has only cost the US... not Al-Qaeda.

It has cost us at least a trillion bucks in current and long-term expenses.
It has cost us at least 2600 soldiers, sailors, and Marines.
It has cost us at least 15,000 maimed soldiers, sailors, and Marines.
It has cost us our allies.
It has cost us the respect of the world.
It has cost us our freedom and privacy here at home.
It has shown that the giant US military can be stalled and even defeated by a relatively small force.

What has it cost Al-Qaeda?

The lives of a few willing jihadists
Money from rich donors who probably made their fortune from selling oil to the US.

The US has already lost... and not just in Iraq.

20. They are a free Iraq

free to have a civil war and sort their own shit out and that's what they're doing. we have no business in the middle of it.
