CNN/AP: Bush, Democrats celebrate blow to terror in radio addresses
Bush, Democrats celebrate blow to terror
Radio addresses each ask: What's next?
Saturday, June 10, 2006



WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush was celebrating "a good week for the cause of freedom," with the killing of terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and the completion of Baghdad's government, as he huddled with advisers.

"We will determine how to best deploy America's resources in Iraq and achieve our shared goal of an Iraq that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself," Bush said Saturday in his weekly radio address. "There's still difficult work ahead in Iraq. Yet this week, the ideology of terror has suffered a severe blow."...

***

Democrats also celebrated the week's events, but said Bush should use the opportunity to present the country a concrete plan for making it "a year of significant transition."

"Our troops and the American people have been exceedingly patient as previous mileposts in Iraq have passed without progress. The president is asking too much if he expects us to do it again," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, said in the Democratic radio address.

"With Zarqawi gone and the Cabinet filled, we need more than platitudes next week when the president convenes a conference with Iraq's leaders and his war Cabinet."...

1. IMO, it doesn't make any difference about Zarqawi.
It wouldn't matter if they got OBL either. There are thousands waiting to steo up to take their place. We need to stay out of their turf. If the shoe was on the other foot and a coalition of Arab states was occupying the US and Canada, we would all be "insurgents"

2. The perpetuation of myths cause me to just,...want to walk away,...
al-Zakwatshit was a myth. He didn't control 95% of those attempting to defend against invasion.

"There's still difficult work ahead in Iraq."

:puke:

If we ever had the world make up it's mind to invade and control our country, I'd feel nothing. Nothing. I am literally numb, at this point because OUR leaders defrauded us into giving up OUR national treasure, OUR CHILDREN AND CITIZENS for unjust and cruel, massive destructive behavior, without just cause.

The politics in this country has become a cancer, and its spreading.

I walk away from that, want to have nothing to do with that human-produced cancer.

ENUFF!!!

3. it didn't matter
when the hussein sons were killed, it didn't matter when Saddam Hussein was captured, this doesn't matter and when OBL is captured, killed, or found to have been dead...that won't matter either. Like a hydra another head will surface.

4. Reid wants 'concrete plan' from Bush
... Reid said: "We need more than platitudes next week when the president convenes a conference with Iraq's leaders and his War Cabinet. He must present a concrete plan -- a plan for Iraqis to take control of their own security."

The senator said: "(Bush) must reach the political solutions that are desperately required so our troops can begin to come home and America can refocus its attention on destroying al-Qaida and addressing the threats that have grown on the Bush administration's watch." ...
