Sounds like a clear and convincing victory strategy to me.

And don't let the leftists fool your friends. OBL has been working with Iraq for years.

This is the Clinton Department federal indictment against OBL which states specifically his working with Iraq.

"The terrorists, both foreign and Iraqi, failed to stop the transfer of sovereignty," he said. "They failed to break our coalition and force a mass withdrawal by our allies. They failed to incite an Iraqi civil war. They failed to prevent free elections. They failed to stop the formation of a democratic Iraqi government that represents all of Iraq's diverse population, and they failed to stop Iraqis from signing up in large number with the police forces and the army to defend their new democracy."
-President George W Bush


Bump

[onedoug]

Swell speech. Though we've heard it before. Would that he had also said that the Supreme Court's recent eminent domain judgment would "not stand". It's conutinuation makes us a totalitarian state too.

I really didn't hear anything new. Of course, being a faithful FReeper means I'm much better informed than the average American, who probably needed to hear at least a sound bite's worth of what the President had to say.

I'll applaud the speech where he promises that we will start flattening Iraqi towns that shield terrorists.

foreign fighters in Iraq who have come from Saudi Arabia, and Syria, Iran, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Libya, and others.

"The rise of freedom in this vital region will eliminate the conditions that feed radicalism and ideologies of murder"

Subtext: the cultures and governments of Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, and Libya feed radicalism and ideologies of murder.

Gee, what "ideology" do they have in common? Ummm....Wahabbi Islam, perhaps?

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE..........THESE PEOPLE WANT YOU AND ME DEAD, THIS WILL NOT STOP.....EVER, UNTIL THEY ARE STOPPED OR DEAD.
THE LIBERAL OSTRICHES NEED TO LEAVE AMERICA, AND GIVE US MORE ROOM TO FIGHT. MILLIONS OF OUR TROOPS DIED AND FOUGHT TO GIVE YOU THE RIGHT AND FREEDOM TO EVEN EXPRESS YOUR OPINIONS. ... IF YOU CAN READ THIS ....THANK A TEACHER,......IF YOU READ IT IN ENGLISH..THANK A SOLDIER.
DID ANYONE SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO US ON 9-11?

[WFTR]

The president gave a great speech tonight. I realize that this statement seems obvious, but when he does well, we need to express our support.

[dc-zoo]

That line has a nice ring to it. It was an amazing speech.

[adam_az]

Every word out of the mouth of every presstitute on CNN is a flat out lie.

"No terrorism in Iraq before the war?"

What a load of poop.

John Kerry is speaking now - he should be summarily shot for treason.

[Salvation]

BTTT for the strategy!

Eat that, dims!

[lutz]

BTTT!!!!
