Bush Speaks this am
haven’t found a full transcript—haven’t found anything new, here, either. ...yet?
****FINAL UPDATE:
Good ol’ WaPo: Transcript here****
President Bush [direct quotes only]: “The militants believe that controlling one country will rally the Muslim masses, enabling them to overthrow all moderate governments in the region and establish a radical Islamic empire that spans from Spain to Indonesia,”
Against such an enemy, there’s only one effective response: We never back down, never give in and never accept anything less than complete victory,”
“We are facing a radical ideology with inmeasurable objectives to enslave whole nations and intimidate the world,”
..."aided by elements of the Arab news media that incites hatred and anti-semitism.” [ya neglected to mention the US news media]
Still looking.... more to come.
UPDATE:
President Bush: There’s always a temptation in the middle of a long struggle to seek the quiet life, to escape the duties and problems of the world and to hope the enemy grows weary of fanaticism and tired of murder,”
We are facing a radical ideology with immeasurable objectives to enslave whole nations and intimidate the world,"
I hate that my cynicism jumped up to ask, “why now?”
Oklahoma? Bali? Meirs?
