Bush: U.S. Foiled at Least 10 Terror Plots

In remarks clearly aimed at those seeking a withdrawal of U.S. troops, Bush said: "There's always a temptation in the middle of a long struggle to seek the quiet life, to escape the duties and problems of the world and to hope the enemy grows weary of fanaticism and tired of murder."

"We will keep our nerve and we will win that victory," he said.

Democrats challenged Bush's arguments on the Iraq mission. "The president went into Iraq under a false premise, without a plan, and has totally mismanaged our involvement," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "Now he is trying to justify his actions with a series of excuses."

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said Bush "continues to invent a false link between the war in Iraq and the tragedy of Sept. 11." Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Bush "has offered America a false choice, between resolve and retreat."

Kerry, Durbin, Pelosi...

The 3 Stooges (which is an insult to the original 3 Stooges,, but..)

'false' seems to be the talking point to refute President Bush's decision to take on IslamoFascists over there and not here.

Classless, to say the least, imo.

Bush said Thursday that Islamic radicals are seeking to enslave whole nations and intimidate the world, and called that a prime reason not to cut and run in Iraq. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

There is so much more going on in this war. Maybe when we are very old we will learn about it. I think most of what we see is only the tip of the iceberg.

[NormsRevenge]

It does seem a lot of folks do have a complacency about them, a sense of false security, perhaps.

If they really knew or were privy to the skinny behind these and other incidents, they might think twice about how tenuous an existence we lead on old terra firma.

[citizencon]

Bad news for the MSM...

[hsalaw]

"I think most of what we see is only the tip of the iceberg."

I agree with that, and sometimes I wonder if the dems see even that tip. Pelosi is a fool.

BTTT

I have never been able to understand the carping idiots who do not realize that much of this war, by necessity, is going on in secret. They mindlessly criticize the president, the vice president, the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, with no consideration of the fact that any one of them may right now be under grave threat, or may have yesterday skillfully helped foil a plot which could have cost the lives of thousands.

This has become a nation beleagured by completely clueless backseat drivers.

[NormsRevenge]

The 24 hour 7 days a week news grinder does nothing but allow for more time for these idiots to spout off and then have it rerun over and over again proving how idiotic they are..

I know there's a silver lining in that but .. it still grates many folks to no end that they just don't shut up and grow up.

G'Nite All!

Which is this president greatest failing. He's leading in private. A country needs a public leader in times of war.

His behind the scenes leadership style and lack of communication with the public is creating a disconnect between the citizens and the warriors as well as being unhelpful in keeping the public focused on what's at stake.

"series of excuses"

Like that we are capturing terrorists in Iraq and they are revealing plots against us that we are foiling. That's all well and good, but that wasn't the reason Bush said we were going to Iraq now, was it.....

Stupid is as Stupid Does.

Pelosi -- Stuck on Stupid before it was Popular.

"There is so much more going on in this war. Maybe when we are very old we will learn about it. I think most of what we see is only the tip of the iceberg"

Put this in you book !

There are many non-American people in the US and in europe who just disappear. They are scooped up and taken away because they are deemed a threat.

There have been hundreds of attacks that have been stopped but we won't learn about them for another 20 years !

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

Now that President Bush has betrayed conservatives, my level of trust in him is way down. Like the terror alert today. Strange how it occurred the same day of his speech. Is this administration becoming wickedly deceptive, or I'm I just becoming really, really cynical?

[Waco]

Vaporize Damascas for entertainment value. AND so state. Send Iran a memo: "Unconditional surrender works best if you do it while you are still you."

[msnimje]

Pelosi is not a stooge, she is a RINO impersonator :-}

Remember right after the attacks on 9/11 ?

Were we had the Liberal talking heads, the MSM, and the Democrats all in one voice saying "
what is Bush doing ?
why is it taking him so long to do anything about these terrorist ?
we want action now ! "

remember ?

About a year ago, or more, I saw a program on TV ( must have been on the History channel or something like that ) were they had a special on about our special forces and what happen before we went into Afghanistan.

President Bush already had special forces on the ground either near Afghanistan or in Afghanistan ( 24 - 48 hours ) after the attacks on 9/11 gathering information.

The moments right after 9/11, President Bush and his team, and the Pentagon was already in action, to take action against the terrorist, it's just ? we don't see sometimes what goes on, and for good reason.

Back in 2001, the MSN, and the Democrats were not seeing any ( visible ) action , but, rest assured, there was something going on.

But, if you look back then, and look at what is happening now, the only motive that is in the Liberals , MSM, and the Democrats drivel talking point is ? to make President Bush and the Republicans look bad.

Back then, right after 9/11 ,
do you really think the Liberals/MSM/ and the Democrats really cared about the USA ?
and really wanted to go after the terrorist with their propaganda and drivel and what they were saying after 9/11 ? weeks before we actually saw any action by our military in the publics eye ?
I doubt it.
The same motives by the Liberals/MSM/Democrats are still here now, to make President Bush and the Republicans look bad, so they can gain power once again in Washington.

Make no mistake about it,
that is what the Liberals/MSM/Democrats are after, POWER - IN CHARGE once again.
They don't care about the welfare of this country and it's people, they only care about their lust for POWER.
