1. transcript
Hi rosebud,

Not sure exactly what quote you are looking for but the whole transcript is here:
http://securingamerica.com/tsap/050906

It's quite long....

I also like this quote about killing people from Jimmy Carter:
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.

I am going to use:

We are not going to win the War on Terror just by killing people abroad, even if they are terrorists. It's not enough. Look there is no genetic marker that pre-disposes someone to become a terrorist. It's not like we can single out, if we could just kill, it's not World War II where there were certain number of enemy formations, or factories to produce aircraft and once you eliminated these you could be pretty sure that the situation would appear different to the enemy leadership. This is not that kind of a conflict.

When we kill people, we make enemies! And when we kill the wrong people, it's even worse and less defensible.



in a split screen with pics of Bush vs Clark with Bush saying the ridiculous "we fight them over there so we do not have to fight over here"

I want to also add an authoritative quote about the Iraq war creating terrorists

I will make the PDF available for download when I am finished.

Clark warns of weak U.S. foreign policy
By ELIZABETH HILLAKER
Alligator Contributing Writer

Gen. Wesley Clark said America's foreign policy has been mostly ineffective in a speech on Wednesday night commemorating the fourth anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001. He took hard stances on economic, military and diplomatic issues.

"You don't win a war by killing people, you win it by changing people's ideas," Clark told an audience of about 1,000 at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. The speech was sponsored by Accent, Student Government speaker's bureau.

He also commented on the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, saying he would have been on the ground in New Orleans from day one.

However, foreign policy was a larger theme of the general's speech. While the United States has not been hit by another terrorist attack since Sept. 11, 2001, the number of terrorist attacks worldwide has increased, he said.

He advocated reducing the government's overreliance on the military and instead empowering ideological arguments against those who use religion for murder.

"If you want to win, you start going on the offensive with ideas," Clark said.
