'We will stay, we will fight and we will win'
(Bush has also said 'We will spend what we have to', so it's nice to know that he's serious about staying as long as we have to, in order to spend what we have to.)

By Richard Benedetto and Judy Keen, USA TODAY
NAMPA, Idaho — President Bush responded Wednesday to calls for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq with an emphatic vow to stay there "until the terrorists have nowhere to run."

"So long as I am president, we will stay, we will fight and we will win the war on terrorism," he told a supportive audience of National Guard members and their families in a sports arena in this Boise suburb. Pulling out now, he said, would "embolden the terrorists and create a staging ground to launch more attacks against America."

The speech came in response to intensifying anti-war protests that have put Bush on the defensive lately.

5. Well, it depends on what your definition of "win" is.
I hate to break it to Idiot Boy, but the terrorists will ALWAYS have somewhere to run. See: Osama bin Laden.
