Did you guess right?

"mentioning al Qaeda 93 times in the 29-minute speech in an attempt to convince Americans that U.S. troops must stay in Iraq. The strategy is a simple one -- emphasize al Qaeda's role in the violence rather than the fighting between warring Iraqi groups.

The enemy now in Iraq, Bush argued, is the same enemy that attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.


Citing what he called "newly declassified information," Bush said that the founder of al Qaeda in Iraq, Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, ran a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan and had long-standing relations with senior al Qaeda leaders bin Laden and his top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri."

7. Hospitals overwhelmed with alcohol poisoning cases today...
College students playing drinking games while listening to Bush's speech. Apparently, "9-11" and "al Qaida" were among the phrases that were used to force shots of alcohol.

Similar incidents have occurred recently during congressional hearings, as students drank tequila shots every time "I don't recall" or the word "recused" were used.


:rofl:
