From Bush's speech

Bush:

The terrorists in Iraq share the ideology of the terrorists who struck the United States on September the 11th. They share the ideology with those who blew up commuters in London and Madrid, murdered tourists in Bali and killed workers in Riyadh and slaughtered guests at a wedding in Amman, Jordan.

This is an enemy with conscience and they cannot be appeased.

If we were not fighting and destroying this enemy in Iraq, they would not be leading quiet lives as good citizens. They would be plotting and killing our citizens across the world and here at home.

Funny that he points out a number of attacks since the invasion of Iraq to point out the ruthlessness of the terrorists, and then two sentences later claims we are fighting in Iraq to stop the terrorists from doing things that are on that list, isn't it?

And eventually we will leave Iraq. And that means we will no longer be "fighting and destroying" the terrorists over there, which I guess would free them up to attack us over here? Unless you want to stay in Iraq forever...
