Thanks.
I hope Rush posts a transcript: Here's what I was able to get on the second time around ...
"The long term solution is to spread freedom"
Used Japan as an example.
"the same thing is going to happen in Iraq"
"...that's what I mean by the transformational power of liberty"
"...as long as we stay strong and committed."
"Libya no longer has nuclear weapons..."
"... my opponents saw a threat in Iraq and voted to remove Hussein by force if necessary."
"... we've got to remove threats before they FULLY materialize."
"... one of the most dangerous parts of this new war is that weapons of mass destruction would make 9/11 pale in comparison."
Stated the threat he saw due to terrorists Abu Nidal, Zarkawi (sp?) and others in Iraq, as well as Hussein funding suicide bombers.
"Our troops will be in Iraq as long as they are needed, and not one day longer."
"Evidently Rudy didn't heed his warnings [to not talk about 9/11 at the convention]"
