Transcript of President's Remarks

[SandRat]

President calls terrorists in essence Craven Cowards --- that ought to make the TSM (Terrorist Support Media) flipping mad!!!

[Grut]

Terrorists in Iraq resort to using improvised explosive devices because they lack the ability to engage in conventional military operations, President Bush said here today.

Well, duh!

[foldspace]

It's all a fraud.
Not enough dead/death benefits to warrant technological solution to IED's.
HP just spent One Billion US to redesign it's printers and inks.
===>>>>>>>>>
For 50M I could totally defeat IED's using a 360-degree
solution to detect their planting.
===>>>>>>>>>
I'm just sick of it, and pray for those whos sons and daughters have already been damaged in lieu of a nice family of printers and inks.

Every offensive is fought on the battlefield the commanders deem most advantageous. The US has developed the Aegis technology to allow our fighters to intercept enemies before they acquire visual targeting of our forces. We fly missions at night as they afford our fighters the greatest cover and deny the enemies peaceful respite. In WW2, our battleships could send a 2,500 lb projectile some 8 miles.

The point is that our enemies cannot confront our professional military. We should expect them to target our civilians, to target our infrastructure, to attack us in places that we wouldn't attack. Our preparations should deny them unimpeded access through unprotected borders. We should be profiling. We should be preparing.

For every IED that goes off in Iraq,A Top Iranian Mullah should meet Allah.

My bet is that the numbers of IED's would quickly drop

"After the terrorists were defeated in battles in Fallujah and Tal Afar, they saw they could not confront Iraqi or American forces in pitched battles and survive, and so they turned to IEDs, a weapon that allows them to attack from a safe distance without having to face our forces in battle," Bush said during a speech at George Washington University's Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.

President Bush said on March 13, 2006

(8th paragraph before end of speech)

"Earlier this year, a newspaper published details of a new anti-IED technology that was being developed. Within five days of the publication -- using details from that article -- the enemy had posted instructions for defeating this new technology on the Internet."

Chris Plant on WMAL 630-AM just said that this refers to a Los Angeles Times article from February 12, 2006 titled "Bomb Buster For Iraq Hits Pentagon Snag"

Could a Freeper with more experience than me check and see if this is on FR yet and is getting out on the internet?

I'll give it a week before some left-wing putz pronounces a document as false.

[Republican Party Reptile]

the President can't be serious - we are now reduced to calling out in frustration "come out here and fight like a man!"??? Give the enemy some credit, of course he's going to fight to his strength.

Maybe we should give up our vastly superior firepower and issue veryone dueling pistols - just to make it a fair fight / sarc ...

Terrorists Can't "Face Our Forces in Battle," So They Use IEDs...

As well as EIDs...

EXACTLY.. they're chickens! They wouldn't stand a chance facing our troops one on one!
