Lest we forget: BRING. THEM. ON.

"We'll stay the course in Iraq. We're not leaving until we accomplish the task, and the task is going to be a free country run by the Iraqi people. There are some who feel like that the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is bring them on! We've got the force necessary to deal with the security situation." --

The President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of her Armed Forces, 7/1/2003

Bush: bin Laden 'prime suspect'

September 17, 2001 Posted: 8:01 PM EDT (0001 GMT)



WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Osama bin Laden is the "prime suspect" in last Tuesday's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington and the United States wants to capture him , President Bush said Monday.

Speaking with reporters after a Pentagon briefing on plans to call up reserve troops, Bush offered some of his most blunt language to date when he was asked if he wanted bin Laden dead.

"I want justice," Bush said. "And there's an old poster out West… I recall, that said, 'Wanted, Dead or Alive.'"

"We're going to find those evildoers, those barbaric people who attacked our country, and we're going to hold them accountable," Bush said. "We're going to hold the people who house them accountable. The people who think they can provide them safe havens will be held accountable. The people who feed them will be held accountable. And the Taliban must take my statement seriously."

Bush To Iraqi Militants: 'Please Stop Bringing It On'

WASHINGTON, DC—In an internationally televised statement Monday, President Bush modified a July 2003 challenge to Iraqi militants attacking U.S. forces. "Terrorists, Saddam loyalists, and anti-American insurgents: Please stop bringing it on now," Bush said at a Monday press conference. "Nine months and 500 U.S. casualties ago, I may have invited y'all to bring it on, but as of today, I formally rescind that statement. I would officially like for you to step back." The president added that the "it" Iraqis should stop bringing includes gunfire, bombings, grenade attacks, and suicide missions of all types.

5. I still remember the shock I felt when I heard him say that...

"Oh my god, what a stupid thing to say," I thought.
