W.H. Transcript, today's Bush speech
Excerpt:

They're not going to shake my confidence, I just want you to know. I understand their tactics and I know their designs. But I also believe that Iraqis can and want to self-govern. That's what I believe. And so when you see me make decisions, or make statements like I make, you've got to understand it's coming from a basic set of beliefs. That's what I believe. And that's what a decision-maker ought to do. The decision-maker ought to make decisions based upon deep-seeded beliefs. You don't need a President chasing polls and focus groups in order to make tough decisions. You need Presidents who make decisions based upon sound principle.

Now, people may not agree with the decisions; I understand that. But I hope after this talk, those of you who didn't agree at least know I'm making my decisions based on something I believe deep in my soul, and something that's worked in the past. Democracies have yielded the peace. I believe 30 years form now, people are going to look back at this moment and say, thank goodness a generation of Americans stood up and said, we have faith in democracy, faith in democracy to lay the foundation for peace, and an American President will be discussing issues of peace with duly-elected leaders in the Middle East, and our children will be better off for it.

You know, it's not enough to use a spell-checker, you also have to USE YOUR BRAIN.

4. That will make them warm & fuzzy as they watch SS collapse 10 yrs later.
What a jerk. I can just imagine what they will be saying - providing the US gov't comes to it's senses and becomes a truth-telling organization.

6. Decoding
Every time he says "I understand..." it means "I have been told to say..."

Every time he says "You've got to understand..." it means "Take my word for it and ask no further questions about it..."

Really simple, when you get down to it.
