'Bring Them On,' Bush Says of Iraq Attacks - July 2, 2003
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0702-08.htm

WASHINGTON - U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday challenged militants who have been killing and injuring U.S. forces in Iraq, saying "bring them on" because American forces were tough enough to deal with their attacks.

"There are some who feel like that conditions are such that they can attack us there," Bush told reporters at the White House. "My answer is 'bring them on'. We have the force necessary to deal with the situation."

Bush spoke in the face of increasing American concern about the rising casualty toll among U.S. troops. At least 23 American servicemen have been killed by hostile fire since major combat operations were declared over for the U.S. forces and their British allies on May 1.

Odd, I was just thinking about that statement by little lord pissypants today. I was wondering if there was a question that led to his response. The story link does not provide it, does anyone know what the question was if there was one?

More macho bs from another one. Just like all these other nutjobs that were so go go go for the Vietnam War but were too busy to serve, and then make a massive distortion of history by claiming we didn't let the generals fight the war blah blah blah.

Bring it on
Mission Accomplished
Great Job Brownie
blah blah blah, it goes on and on.

Peace
