Bush: "The war arrived on our shores on September the 11th, 2001."

The second part of our strategy is to help freedom prevail in Iraq. The recent violence in Iraqis a grim reminder of the brutal enemies we face in the war on terror. And we are a nation at war. The war arrived on our shores on September the 11th, 2001. And since that day, the terrorists have continued to kill. They have killed in Madrid and Istanbul and Jakarta and Casablanca and Riyadh and Bali and London and elsewhere, and they are determined to do more harm. And they kill indiscriminately. In other words, they don't care who they kill.

....

After September the 11th, I made a commitment to the American people that this nation will not wait to be attacked again, and we're going to stay on the offense. And we're fighting the enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere so we do not have to face them here at home.

1. I like how he has to define "indiscriminately" for us

Condi must have had him sound it out in the greenroom.

[madmom]

9. must be his new word for the day...n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

2. When will a reporter hold him accountable for at least that massive lie

about how he uses 9/11 over and over and over and over again, ad nuaseum to justify his criminality?????

3. Bush needs more cowbell. nt

[Karenina]

16. Forget the cowbell...

The track is already "overproduced." How about some ACCOUNTABELLITY??? ;-) :hi:

[jobycom]

17. LOL That's a lot to hope for, I just wanted some noise to drown him out

[Bluebear]

4. Not this shit again.9

9/11 does not equal Iraq.

[deadparrot]

5. Give it UP, George.

It took Americans a while, but the majority of us realize that Hussein and 9/11 are not, and were not EVER, linked.

:banghead:

6. So with this statement, he*s finally admitting he* sat on his* ass for 8

months? That's a start at least.

After September the 11th, I made a commitment to the American people that this nation will not wait to be attacked again, and we're going to stay on the offense. And we're fighting the enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere so we do not have to face them here at home.


Well bush*, up until Jan 20, 2001 America wasn't "WAITING to be attacked agian" either. Sandy Berger and Clinton's team WARNED your lameass fucking team that terrorism would/should be their TOP priority, but asskroft just had to round him up some hookers in New Orleans instead. And YOU had to get "our money" into the hands of the Have Mores that supported your sorry ass with your tax deform. It was NOT "this nation" that sat on it's ass "waiting to be attacked again", you shithole, it was YOU! Perhaps you've forgotten the Hart/Rudman report that cheney so ignorantly tabled upon getting the keys to the Treasury.

What a fucking dick-knocker of an asshole you are, bush*.

13. Yes, let's stop playing partisan politics with unsubstantiated

pot shots at the "Clinton-Gorelick wall". :eyes:

Let's just gloss over that all FOIA requests were denied by asskroft, and not one was denied by Reno. Let's just toss aside all the work and planning that went into foiling the Millenium Bomb Plot for the bush* inspired "intelligence failures" bogeyman. Let's just piss on the Gore Commission report on Airport Safety that was flushed by the newt gangreenrich REPUKE congress. Let's just say fuck it to Orrin Hatch scuttling many of the same anti-terror measures that were ultimately passed (and ultra-right-wing-tweakized) when he blew off similar legislation in 1996 so we can spend an evening dicussing the moral relativity of a blow job between consenting adults and starting/fucking up an illegal WAR.

I'm so glad you found this place, you're the debate partner I've so longed for here!

Welcome to DU!

20. Are you insinuating you're aware of logic?

I've heard/read/seen the bush* admin version of what happened and there are way too many unaswered questions/coincidences. So I take a look at the "CT" stuff and while they don't have answers they make some solid suppositions and raise even more questions. So before you go throwing around "conspiracy theorist" like it's an invitation to ignore my point of view, do you still believe Hillary is a lesbian who had her male lover Vince Foster killed, or are you finally over that?

And obl wasn't working for bush*, bush* is working for obl! Just take the time and go look at some of obl's demands and then cross reference that to some of bush*s actions. Not to mention the bush*/bin laden working relationship over the years.

As for misconstruing your post, you can't come to DEMOCRATIC underground and throw around right-wing talking points (Gorelick Wall, FDR=Pearl Harbor), and truly expect to ba taken seriously.

7. Didn't you hear??

He was on his way to Afghanistan and took a wrong turn and ended up in Iraq. OOOOOPS! You know how men do not like to ask for directions.

8. The war arrived on our shores the day voters realized we weren't allowed

to vote in FL. Wrap that up to November 2000.

Asshole.

[Johonny]

11. Offensive

Boy there so much stupid in one statement it's hard to know where to begin. Well we sure are staying on the offensive. What could be more offensive than attacking a country that never attacked us and never threaten to attack us? One thing for sure we sure are waiting to be attacked again. We are sitting in Iraq basically waiting every day to see how many soldiers die. It funny that THEY kill indiscriminately but the whole Iraq war shows that we do too. In fact most of the Wars defenders can't discriminate one Muslim from another.

12. ".....So we don't have to face them here at home." What a Crock POS

If that is true...why all the security?

We are still fighting them everywhere.....thats a fact....

So how does America deal with the future? By dealing with the first Mistake in the first place....which was selecting Bush in Dec 2000

He has been the worst fraud perped on America in 230 years.

[alarimer]

14. Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11

you moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geez, I hate this guy.

[Hobarticus]

15. "...and that is why I take so many vacations." n/t

[leftchick]
