From Chimpy's speech aboard the USS Lincoln ...debate issues?

"This nation thanks all the members of our coalition who joined in a noble cause. We thank the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland, who shared in the hardships of war."
He calls this later "a broad coalition."
Yes, let's not forget Poland!

"Today, we have the greater power to free a nation by breaking a dangerous and aggressive regime. With new tactics and precision weapons, we can achieve military objectives without directing violence against civilians. No device of man can remove the tragedy from war; yet it is a great moral advance when the guilty have far more to fear from war than the innocent."
Oh really?? Anybody see the images from foreign news broadcasts (since our 'Lib'rul Media here in 'Murka is too chickeshit to show them) of the Iraqi civilians maimed and killed? Of the children born with horrendous birth defects due to the depleted uranium used in cluster bombs?

"The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. We've removed an ally of al Qaeda, and cut off a source of terrorist funding. And this much is certain: No terrorist network will gain weapons of mass destruction from the Iraqi regime, because the regime is no more. (Applause.)
In these 19 months that changed the world, our actions have been focused and deliberate and proportionate to the offense. We have not forgotten the victims of September the 11th - the last phone calls, the cold murder of children, the searches in the rubble. With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war is what they got."
But no, nobody in this administration tried to make a connection between Iraq and al Qaeda, how could the Lib'rul 'Murkin Media tell such whoppin' lies????

"Any person, organization, or government that supports, protects, or harbors terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent, and equally guilty of terrorist crimes."
Gee, does that include Israel?

"The United States upholds these principles of security and freedom in many ways - with all the tools of diplomacy, law enforcement, intelligence, and finance. We're working with a broad coalition of nations that understand the threat and our shared responsibility to meet it. The use of force has been - and remains - our last resort."
Golly, where to start... 'diplomacy...' 'broad coalition...' 'last resort...' and hmmm....'law enforcement...' thought that was what he was just bashing Kerry about, but gee, I must be mistaken. How does he lie to us? Let us count the ways; we'll be here until the next millenium.

"Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight."
So what are we still doing there, if not occupying and exploiting? OH yeah, NATION-BUILDING...something Candidate Bush said in 2000 that we would not do. FLIP-FLOP! FLIP-FLOP! (Simply one among hundreds.)


C'mon, John! JUMP ON THIS LITTLE CHICKENHAWK SACK OF SHIT, CALL HIM ON HIS LIES AND MISTAKES AND POSITION CHANGES! LET'S PUT THIS THING IN THE BAG!
