Bush Says Iraq Deaths Will Not Shake US Resolve

President Bush speaks at the American Legislative Exchange Council's annual meeting

President Bush says attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq are meant to shake America's will and try to force an early pull-out of troops.

President Bush says foreign fighters are battling U.S. troops in Iraq because they realize that a democratic government in the heart of the Middle East would be a major blow to what Mr. Bush says is a hateful and dark ideology.

Mr. Bush spoke to a meeting of state legislators in Texas shortly after Marine commanders announced another 14 deaths Wednesday following the loss of seven Marines in western Iraq on Monday.

The president says it is a time of testing in Iraq and American troops are up to the challenge.

1. this little man is completely delusional

enough already

2. How has America let this happen?

I am so ashamed of this man, and what our country has become. It's easy for him to spew the words; none of the sacrifices are made by him, his family, or his cronies.

3. I'm eerily reminded of the film "Twilight's Last Gleaming"

The plot revolved around the information that the war was fought to show the other side that we (to show our resolve) were willing to match them casualty for casualty. His talk of resolve and stay the course really worry me, I don't think the neocons intend on leaving at all.
It's nice to know that Bush thinks the troops are up to the challenge while he takes a month long vacation from the White House. It's 'hard work' don'tcha know. :)

4. Well of course not.

He has nothing to lose, what does he care?

7. Exactly. Time to vacation. nt

5. The chimp needs to get a new speech.

The old one is getting tiresome.

[BuyingThyme]

6. He's right.

We can't be shook off that 38%.

Resolve.
