Bush Still Listening to Words of the Terrorists
by Ron Fullwood
“We must remember the words of the enemy. We must listen to what they say.” –Bush at VFW Wednesday:
It’s always amazed me that Americans have tolerated Bush’s insistence that they should “listen to the words of the terrorists” as he defends ignoring their own on Iraq. Bush wants us to accept bin-Laden’s taunts that a withdrawal from Iraq would be a defeat for the U.S.. Obscenely, he uses the exact same reasoning as bin-Laden in arguing that America should continue on with his ‘war’ in Iraq. Bin-Laden says Iraq is the central front for his terror fight, Bush says Iraq is the central front for his terror fight.
Problem is, bin-Laden is in Pakistan hoping that his ploy to keep Bush bogged down in Iraq continues to work — inflaming more and more anti-U.S. violence and recriminations with U.S. soldiers as targets. Bush is the perfect patsy. He’s the type who folks like to egg on because of his predictable, foolish reaction. It’s disgusting to hear him parrot bin-Laden’s calculated nonsense.
Bush, in his VFW speech:
“Bin Laden has declared that “the war in Iraq is for you or us to win. If we win it, it means your disgrace and defeat forever.” Iraq is one of several fronts in the war on terror — but it’s the central front — it’s the central front for the enemy that attacked us and wants to attack us again. And it’s the central front for the United States and to withdraw without getting the job done would be devastating.”
