Bush, on why it's good to be in Iraq:
We were not in Iraq in 1993 when the terrorists tried to blow up the World Trade Center in New York. We were not in Iraq in 1998 when the terrorists bombed our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. We were not in Iraq in 2000 when the terrorists killed 17 American sailors aboard the USS Cole. And there wasn't a single American soldier in Iraq on September 11, 2001, when the terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 people in the worst attack on our home since Pearl Harbor. (Bush 12-14-05)
You know, for once Bush has said something about Iraq that I can really relate to. I have a certain chair which I must be sitting in order for my favorite hockey team to win. If Bush feels he has found such a chair in Iraq, which he has to be sitting in in order for America to be winning the war on terror, then more power to him. As long as his case for remaining in Iraq is based on a foundation of verified superstition, then I feel I can sleep peacefully at night with him as my leader.
