we can win this thing
Oct. 1st, 2004 07:16 amWe can win this thing.
Not Kerry. WE. US. Americans.
And the American America they love (sorry, just started Franken's book last nite).
Bush: "The enemy understands a free Iraq will be a major defeat in their ideology of hatred. That's why they're fighting so vociferously."
"We did. The world is safer without Saddam Hussein."
"And that's why it's essential that we have strong alliances, and we do."
"And when Iraq is free, America will be more secure."
"But the best way to protect this homeland is to stay on the offense. You know, we have to be right 100 percent of the time. And the enemy only has to be right once to hurt us. There's a lot of good people working hard."
"Of course we're doing everything we can to protect America. I wake up every day thinking about how best to protect America. That's my job.
I work with Director Mueller of the FBI; comes in my office when I'm in Washington every morning, talking about how to protect us. There's a lot of really good people working hard to do so.
It's hard work. But, again, I want to tell the American people, we're doing everything we can at home, but you better have a president who chases these terrorists down and bring them to justice before they hurt us again."
"And a free Iraq is going to make this world a more peaceful place."
Kerry: "But that doesn't mean it wasn't a mistake of judgment to go there and take the focus off of Osama bin Laden. It was.
Now, we can succeed. But I don't believe this president can."
"I think we need a president who has the credibility to bring the allies back to the table and to do what's necessary to make it so America isn't doing this alone."
"And the test is not whether you're spending more money. The test is, are you doing everything possible to make America safe? We didn't need that tax cut. America needed to be safe."
The enemy our President is so fond of describing is radical Islamist terrorists.
Iraq was a secular state led by a man whom radical Islamist terrorists considered insufficiently Muslim to make alliances with.
The Iraq we had was not a threat to the security of America, it was a threat to the security of the Iraqi people and incidentally, the security of Israel.
The Iraq we had was a considerably lower threat, on the basis of actual attacks launched on American soil, compared to the Afghanistan and possibly Saudi Arabia we had and do have.
The Iraq we have now is not free.
The Iraq we have now makes America less secure.
The Iraq we are destroying is making America and Americans increasingly unsafe, both on the ground there, and here at home.
The Iraq we are destroying bears little resemblance to the free states with which we have alliances.
In fact, Iraq is starting to look a lot like Israel, with terror attacks everyday and hatred between a vicious homicidal minority group and a large and powerfully equipped army, which spawns an atmosphere of suspicion and contempt between the civilian non-participants in the violence.
The Iraq we are getting is not increasingly free, it is a Texas-sized hotbed of chaos where radical Islamists now have a great opportunity to seize power.
The enemies now have a free state whose collapse is the most effective terrorist recruitment tool the world has ever seen.
Thanks to Bush's stated support for the USA/Patriot and Patriot II Acts, we have an America which is both less free and less secure.
Thanks to Bush's lies, people believe that all he does is think about how to protect us, whilst all his actions show he is clearly not thinking.
Thanks to Bush's policy of perpetual offense, we have launched on a string of conflicts which amount to a state of perpetual war. This is the hallmark of a leader who has no skill, a leader who has no desire to lead, but instead must demand ever greater shows of loyalty from the populace, who needs the marshal drumbeats to set the pace of his heart, who achieves his apotheosis in the perpetual realization of his nation's military might. Maximum Leader. Hail Caesar.
How about this notion? A free America makes the world more secure.
Our struggle is at home. Our struggle is about America. This President has made America less free and less secure. This President has made America less free and less secure. This President has made America less free and less secure.
But the facts and the evidence are on John Kerry's side. It's time the people were on his side too.
We must recruit non-voters and undecided voters. We must each devote some time to asking people to vote and to please vote for John Kerry. I'm taking some time off to participate in voter drives. I know for sure I'm taking November 2 off to help get people to the polls. I don't know what else I'm doing yet, but by God, I'm going to do something.
"It is hard work. It is hard work to go from a tyranny to a democracy." President Bush said that on September 30, 20041. He was talking about the hard work of making a free Iraq. He was right, of course. It's hard work. So let's get to work, dammit, and move America from tyranny to democracy. The one sure way that this false President and his administration of lies cannot confound, cannot comprehend: peacefully and with votes.
Yay! Hope is on the way and all that pretty stuff! Victory is coming!
1 "It is hard work. It is hard work to go from a tyranny to a democracy. It's hard work to go from a place where people get their hands cut off, or executed, to a place where people are free. But it's necessary work. And a free Iraq is going to make this world a more peaceful place.2
2This was repeated often. Repetition does not make it so. Repetition makes it believed, because that is how the Big Lie works.3
3 See that? Yep. I just compared the Bush method to the Nazis'. This debate has officially entered the gutter. I don't care much anymore. We have facts and truth on our side, and their behavior is like the behavior of fascists and national socialists. They are not Nazis, their behavior is like that of the Nazis. Curious for such "strong supporters" of Israel.4
4 Tired of these footnotes yet? Well, here's some info on how Neocons don't really care about Israel ( Here's a wild tangent about it )
