"These are challenging times. I wish I could report to you that all is well. But there's still an enemy that wants to harm the United States of America because of what we stand for. We learned that lesson earlier this month, when because of the good work of our friends in Great Britain, and some of our own help, we stopped a terrorist plot against the United States. This is the challenge of our time, and my most important duty. And the most important duty of our government is to protect the American people from further attack. (Applause.)

"We will stay on the offense and defeat the terrorists abroad so we do not have to face them here at home. (Applause.) And as we do so, we'll remember the power of freedom and liberty to transform regions of hate to regions of compassion. I believe there's an Almighty, and I believe the great gift of the Almighty to every man and woman on the Earth is the desire to live in freedom. (Applause.)

"Iraq is the central front in this war on terror. If we leave the streets of Baghdad before the job is done, we will have to face the terrorists in our own cities. We will stay the course, we will help this young Iraqi democracy succeed, and victory in Iraq will be a major ideological triumph in the struggle of the 21st century. (Applause.)

"I firmly believe we'll succeed. We'll succeed in spreading liberty. And as we do so, we can say that this generation did our duty and laid the foundation of peace for generations to come. (Applause.)

...

"So I want to thank you all for coming. It warms my heart to see such a huge crowd. May God bless the great state of Utah, and may God bless America. Thank you all very much.'' (Applause.)

3. Reading his speeches (I can't watch him anymore)

makes me feel like I'm stuck in that movie "Groundhog Day". It's the same old crap spewed over and over and over and over. I can't believe anyone swallows this shit anymore.

4. He is a clown

5. Please

"Iraq is the central front in this war on terror. If we leave the streets of Baghdad before the job is done, we will have to face the terrorists in our own cities. We will stay the course, we will help this young Iraqi democracy succeed, and victory in Iraq will be a major ideological triumph in the struggle of the 21st century."

What total crap ...... our cities? democracy succeed?

6. So the pretzeldent thinks Iraq is the major front

Based on what? Al Qaeda is in Pakistan.

7. And Saudi Arabia

don't forget his good friends there

8. So be part of the solution and resign George

I promise you that is the only way history is going to look favorably upon you. "He had the wisdom to resign for the greater good", sounds better than, "His bloodlust led him to greater atrocities than even Hitler accomplished"

9. No, Mr President...

Your most important duty, and the duty you swore to uphold,


is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
