| Bush warns al-Qaida in Iraq a threat to US | ||
| 2007-07-25 | ||
"The merger between al-Qaida and its Iraqi affiliate is an alliance of killers and that is why the finest military in the world is on their trail," Bush said. Bush described al-Qaida's burgeoning operation in Iraq as a direct threat to the United States. Bush accused critics in Congress of misleading the American public by suggesting otherwise. Citing security details he declassified for his speech, Bush described al-Qaida's burgeoning operation in Iraq as a direct threat to the United States. Bush accused critics in Congress of misleading the American public by suggesting otherwise. "That's like watching a man walk into a bank with a mask and a gun and saying, 'He's probably just there to cash a check,'" Bush told troops at Charleston Air Force Base.

| #1 Having read this part of Bush's speech at the Corner... I could find none, nada, none news report that quotes the second paragraph of these two... and this is what America needs to be hearing There's a debate in Washington about Iraq, and nothing wrong with a healthy debate. There's also a debate about al Qaeda's role in Iraq. Some say that Iraq is not part of the broader war on terror. They complain when I say that the al Qaeda terrorists we face in Iraq are part of the same enemy that attacked us on September the 11th, 2001. They claim that the organization called al Qaeda in Iraq is an Iraqi phenomenon, that it's independent of Osama bin Laden and that it's not interested in attacking America. That would be news to Osama bin Laden. He's proclaimed that the "third world war is raging in Iraq." Osama bin Laden says, "The war is for you or for us to win. If we win it, it means your defeat and disgrace forever." I say that there will be a big defeat in Iraq and it will be the defeat of al Qaeda. (Applause.) Seems to me, for all of those that want Bush out there speaking these words.... well, he's been doing it, time after time after time. The press ignores his words! These words were NOT the sound bite, (and usually today, not even the sound bite, just some chosen words read by the reporter). You have to read his speeches to know this...... (yea, I do read lots of them) So -- get him on YouTube, something..... cause he has been and continues to, use the right words. Check around -- find these words anywhere else, except in his speech? |
