Answer 1

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. Never present facts when discussing Bush and Iraq. Liberals don't like that.

Answer 2

true and prior to our invasion of Iraq there were no Al Qaeda in Iraq but now they have moved right in. He didn't seem to broach the subject of Al Qaeda being stronger now than before 9/11 or that our presence in Iraq has provided combat field training for Al Qaeda they couldn't get any other way or that our presence has been the greatest recruiting call ever for Al Qaeda.
Also, your Hodge Podge of attacks were not all of Al Qaeda origin.
Just keep listening to GWB's half truths and propaganda, it will shelter you from reality. Georgie will tell you what and how to think.

Answer 3

None of the incidents you posted can be linked to Saddam or Iraq. Anti-American terrorist and insurgent forces did not exist nor operate in the numbers we see today in Iraq prior to us starting the war there. Iraq became the battleground as a result of our ignorance, not because it was a worthwhile target.

I'm a conservative and I think it's really childish that you would delight in a speech by Bush that quote "slammed the liberals". This type of partisan leadership is why our country is in such a dire state.

Answer 4

Liberalism is very bad for America. Bush's problem is he isn't conservative enough. If he were Iraq would be won. Al Quiada would be finished. And The wall would be built. With illegals on the other side.

Answer 5

None of your examples were done by anyone from Iraq. The foriegn terrorists IN IRAQ are there due to the US invasion, they weren't there before the US invaded. Pretty simple.

Answer 6

Ehhh... just one thing, NONE of the terrorist attacks were perpetuated by iraqis. The point the liberals are trying to make is that the chaos and poverty WE have created in iraq will in essence create more terroists.

Answer 7

like when he said" the reason we call them al-queda in Iraq, is because they are al-queda ... in Iraq"

... ummm yea ... because he disbanded the Iraqi army and created the insurgents

I listen to what the generals have to say about the war, they tell a much different story than Bush does

Answer 8

Well, he looked more like he was on Valium and was once again, rambling on and on, once again trying to convince Americans that the war must be won.

Answer 9

Liberals are like the ostrich when it comes to defeating terrorism they love to hide their pointy little heads in the sand...but there biz azzes are always exposed.

The liberal always wants to take the "global test" first. What this means is that they want to see the AlQaida mushroom cloud over NY City before they will take any action...and even then...it will be a worthless UN resolution.

Answer 10

Yes, he really let the libs have it. Good for him.

When will libs ever believe that hiding your head in the sand does not make it all go away?

Now, they want us to pull out of the middle east and make life go back to the way it was. That ain't gonna happen. You can go to the mall with credit card in hand, but at the end of the day you gotta go home and pay the bills.
