Bush asks for more patience on Iraq
The US president has defended his Iraq war policy in an independence day speech, saying that while he honoured the sacrifice of US troops, now was not the time to bring them home.



Bush said victory in Iraq would require "more patience, more courage and more sacrifice".


"If we were to quit Iraq before the job is done, the terrorists we are fighting would not declare victory and lay down their arms. They would follow us here," Bush said at the West Virginia Air National Guard.

At the same time, an anti-war demonstration took place on the other side of the state in Charleston.
Al Jazeera English - News - Bush Asks For More Patience On Iraq

President Bush says he is keeping Americans in Iraq because it is his calling to bring freedom to the world. Freedom? Destroying American soldiers freedom so that he can spread freedom to Iraq, the Middle East, and beyond. Does that make sense?

America 2007 is Germany 1930

I'm beginning to think the only "freedoms" Bush wants to sow in the world is the "freedom" of the top 1% wealthy in the US in taking whatever they want from whomever they want and having the bottom 99% sacrifices themselves, their parents and their children to do it.

Bush can't even define his own mission. They dont' want us, we dont' want to be there. Get rid of Bush and bring them home!!

A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it.---George W. Bush

Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction.---George W. Bush

I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.---Ronald Reagan

Thumbs down Bush asks for more patience on Iraq
The next corner to be turned has been 3 - 6 months in the future for over four years now.
"You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war President. No President wants to be a war President, but I am one." --George W. Bush, Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 26, 2006

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.
