1. Let me guess.
We have a noble mission in Iraq.

The terrorists want us to give up on our noble mission.

But we will not give up on our noble mission because we are a noble people.

Everything is going fine in Iraq, considering the war has only been over for 117 days.

The rest of the world should send troops to Iraq under US command.

49. I noticed that, as well. The applause sounded polite.
One or two louder clappers, and one guy who kind of cheered, once, about us staying in Iraq.

17. Check your gag reflex
Here are some goodies from the speech:

Says he proposed the largest discretionay increase in VA benefits of any pres in History.

Says that he's taking measures to decrease time Veterans have to wait for benefits

:wtf: Give US flag protections under the constitution?

9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11

Taliban thought they were tough beating up on women in the streets...executing them in soccer stadiums...but US troops came and Taliban ran for caves...caves couldn't save them :puke:

Afghanistan is now our friend. Afghanistan is not a place for terrorists anymore.

Won't wait for our known enemies to attack us...we'll attack them..


I couldn't stand anymore. Somebody else fill in.........

18. since the end of major combat ops
Edited on Tue Aug-26-03 03:28 PM by GAspnes
we have seized tons of ammunition, AK-47's and explosives.

(But nothing about WMDs, or even WMD programs. Hmmmmmm.)

Trumpeting the capture of 46 of the 'card deck.' "Chemical Ali's career of terror is OVER." (I thought it was over when Baghdad fell?)

"Ultimately the security of Iraq will be created by the Iraqis themselves. And they are stepping forward. Over 38,000 Iraqis have been hired as police officers...over 1,000 Iraqi civil defense...21,000 forces contributed by other countries...in most of Iraq today there is steady progress ... steadily (again) ... the coalition authority is implementing a comprehensive plan for a free and peaceful Iraq. (this) will require $$$, time and resources..."

can't keep up. Gagging too hard.

56. PartyPooper, we've been doing that since 01/01

The bush countenance is not permitted on our video devices. It did get a bit boring having to change channels whenever a wingnut came on.

I recommend the "Bush Video Filter" from radioshack. Works with cable, satelite, or over the aid antenna. And much less messy than a brick.

and gangs of criminals that are attacking the Iraqi people...

WTF drug IS he on? As I recall the (fill in the blank) doing the killing are Iraqi's and they ain't killing themselves, but Americans mostly.

Can't understand why veterans applaud him. Don't they know he cut combat pay while the poor bastards are in the field????

Watch out UN! I predict another incoming!

BTW, if this pre-empts Crossfire, I'm going to be pissed.

How dare the Pukes complain about the time all the Dem candidates get on TV, when we have this clown on for an hour or two a day, spewing his campaign rhetoric!

I swear folks, he's bored out of his mind. he's just going through the motions. This is the second time today that we've seen him pause for applause lines when they didn't happen. He's on auto-pilot, just reading the script. Hasn't got a clue about what's behind the words.

45. More quotes
Edited on Tue Aug-26-03 04:19 PM by MRDU
Afghanistan- caves couldn't hide the criminals from justice

Iraq- built possessed used WMD

We destroyed the Iraq regime while taking extraordinary measures to protect innocent lives.

Terrorists gathering in Iraq, Saddam loyalist, criminal gangs, remnants etc..
undermine freedom.

There will be no retreat.

We are working through the famous deck of cards of 55. 42 have been captured or killed.

The brutal sons are gone.

The search goes on for "other" former leaders of Iraq, and we will find them.

More progress will come in Iraq.

Murders will not determine the future of Iraq.

"We've adopted a new strategy for a new kind of war, We will not wait for known enemies to strike us again. We will strike them in their camps or caves or wherever they hide, before they hit more of our cities and kill more of our citizens."

48. His closing line bugs me
The "may God continue to bless America" is something I've heard him say before. When we say "God bless America," that's a request (it's in the subjunctive mode) and not an assumption of any present state of blessedness. But when he adds the "continue to" part, he's rhetorically aligning himself with the wingnuts who think the USofA is the new Israel and Americans are God's chosen people. And he's shifting ever-so-slightly the meaning of "God bless America" from a polite and vague request to something approaching a demand. Maybe * is so spoiled by all his enablers that he thinks there's no one or thing he can't boss around.
