And speakin' his own words, facin' and forgettin...

Just listen. The man in his own words. Just listen to what he says...



If you couldn't perchance hear them, this is what was said:

The work that we face in our time is great
in a time of war
and the terrible sacrifices it entails
the promise of a better future is not always clear
there's gonna be other wars
I'm sorry to tell you there's gonna be other wars
there's gonna be a lot of combat wounds
and my friends it's gonna be tough
and we're gonna have a lot to do
That old Beach Boys song, Bomb Iran?
Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb...
I'm still convinced that withdrawal means chaos
and if you think that things are bad now
if we withdraw--you ain't seen nothing yet
was the war a good idea, worth the price in blood and treasure?
It was a good idea
President Bush talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years
Maybe a hundred, that's fine with me
I don't think Americans are concerned if we're there for a hundred years,
or a thousand years,
or ten thousand years.

Something to think about for the next nine months until the election.

I like my buddies from West Texas. I liked them when I was young. I liked them when I was middle-age, I liked them before I was president, and I like them during president, and I like them after president. - George W. Bush
