*: "will not wave the white flag of surrender in this war on terror"

http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/news_theswamp/2006/06/a_27_million_di.html#more

<snip>

It is important to have members of the United States Congress who will not wave the white flag of surrender in this war on terror," Bush said.

As the Senate debates Iraq policy this week, the president blasted Democrats who are seeking a defined exit strategy.

"An early withdrawal, before we completed the missions, would say to the United States military, 'Your sacrifices have gone in vain,'" Bush said. "There will be no early withdrawal so long as we run the Congress and occupy the White House."

Those words did not, however, bring the audience to its feet. While applause came from all corners of the room, the reaction was unmistakably more reserved than in previous years when standing ovations seemed nearly automatic the moment the president talked about the war on terror.

2. And why should they?
When you have no fear of loss, no fear of being a gold star Mother? Other people's money and children have always been expendable through time immerorial.

6. We need to start re-naming this talking point....
Bush and company have insisted on calling the Iraq occupation "the war on terror". We have allowed it to continue. We need to stop letting them these subtle messages become part of our collective psyche. Iraq had nothing to do terrorism in the U.S.

he is corrupt and abusive, it is his way or no way at all, this man is absolutely dangerous and sick.

Just that comment says it all " There will be no early withdrawal so long as we run the Congress and occupy the WH"
He is absolutely sick, this man needs psychological and psychiatric help, really.

11. At the risk of repeating myself: Lord, I DESPISE that waste of skin.
Is it a 'war on terror', or a 'war to free the Iraqi People' this week, Chimpolini?

12. Hey.. FUCK YOU george
What you and your followers have done is create one of the biggest threats of terrorism to the American people than we have ever seen in the history of this country. You have turned the world against us and have put every single American's life in danger two-fold.

You have managed to get close to 3,000 of our brothers and sisters murdered, thousands more maimed for life, families split apart, children losing parents, parents losing children, spouses losing spouses, families losing loved ones not to mention the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians who have been slaughtered during your so-called "war on terror".

What you have done Mr Preznant, is created one of the biggest cluster-fucks of an operation that this country has ever seen. You have destroyed lives, split the country, put all of us at a much greater risk and managed to piss on the graves of every American that has ever died for the rights and liberties of this country.

You talk of sacrifice? Put your money where your mouth is, you fucking coward. Strap some body armor on your big-talking cowboy ass, get on a plane and go spend *one* day in the desert along with the men and women you sentenced to death. And while you're at it, take some of those jaw-yappin' neocon chicken hawks with you. Until then, you will forever be looked at as a traitor to your country and it's citizens and one of the lamest people to ever "occupy" the position of The President of the United States.

Fuck You asshole.
