Comments on President Bush's speech

[bemildred]

A collection of quotes.

Stopping evil will require bringing stability throughout the Middle East. It won't be easy, but it is a fight the United States must continue - and win. It is unfortunate that many Democratic leaders have chosen to politicize the war on terror and ignore the good work that our armed services are doing." - House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill.

Hastert wants us to believe we're "stopping evil".

"As we mark the first anniversary of Iraqi sovereignty, we must remember that 25 million people have been liberated and now enjoy the promise of both freedom and self-determination. Democrat leaders may call that a 'grotesque mistake,' but I call it a humanitarian miracle, and I thank the president for his leadership in fighting this war." - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.

DeLay thinks Iraq is a humanitarian miracle.

"The president stepped up to the plate tonight and in a very convincing way, I believe, said to the American people, look, if we don't stop the terrorists where they are, in the remote places of the world, be it Afghanistan or Iraq, they're likely to come here in greater numbers." - Sen. John Warner, R-Va., on CNN's "Larry King Live."

Warner thinks the boogie man is going to come get us, so we have to go hunt him in Hell first.

"I was one of 23 senators who voted to stick with the United Nations, to share the risks and the cost of our engagement in Iraq. Yet the president went forward with the war. The president needs a new plan for bringing our troops home, and taking care of them when they do. He also needs a new secretary of defense." - Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.

Mikulski, who has been right along, still is.

1. We threw the Iraqi people into a meat grinder.

Simple as that.

That's what I got out of the damn speech.
