Madmen and not Madmen... were they cured?

[radfringe]

below are quotes where bush describes terrorists as madmen.. then suddenly they are no longer madmen.. were they cured?:shrug:

George W. Bush - Jul. 17, 2002
"We have undertaken giant efforts to make sure that there is no place in the world for terrorist madmen."

George W. Bush - Jul. 18, 2002
"Whether in the Balkans or in Afghanistan, Polish and American soldiers cooperate everywhere where the peace is threatened and human rights are violated. Together we have undertaken a decisive fight against global terror. We shall not allow madmen to threaten our values."

George W. Bush - Feb. 16, 2004
"We started to come out of the recession and then the enemy hit us. And that hurt. It hurt a lot. It hurt our economy, of course, but it also hurt our national psychology, because we thought oceans could protect us from harm. It caused me to look at the world in different ways. It meant I couldn't look at a threat and hope it would go away. And when I saw a threat, that we couldn't take the goodwill of madmen and dictators, that my most solemn duty is to protect the American people. So when we saw gathering threats, we had to deal with them. That's what September the 11th said."

George W. Bush - Feb. 19, 2004
"And then on September the 11th, the country got attacked. A vicious attack by brutal killers that affected the nation's psychology. It affected how I view the world, by the way. When we see gathering threats, the country now must take them very seriously. We can't let threats become imminent. We can't trust madmen with the security of the American people."

George W. Bush -Washington, D.C., Sep. 5, 2006
I'll explain the strategy we're pursuing to protect America, by defeating the terrorists on the battlefield, and defeating their hateful ideology in the battle of ideas. The terrorists who attacked us on September the 11th, 2001, are men without conscience -- but they're not madmen. They kill in the name of a clear and focused ideology, a set of beliefs that are evil, but not insane.

1. if chimpy accepts that

it is possible for radical extremists to have a reason for wanting to harm innocents just because their americans then he has to concede that they have grounds for their hatred.

I dont agree with violence or killing to make a statement but obviously if someone is going to die for a cause they must have some rational behind it right? And this is the first time i have heard anyone that high up mention or even hint at that dangerous word Motive.
