Need best stupid Bush quote on Iraq for flyer, so far I have...

[roseBudd]

Bush:
I think about Iraq every day -- every single
day, because I understand we have troops
in harm's way. And so, you know, I think
about this every day -- every single day --
and will continue thinking about it. 06/20/05

I'm not the expert on how the Iraqi people
think, because I live in America, where it's
nice and safe and secure. 09/23/04

Wes Clark:

We are not going to win the War on Terror
just by killing people abroad, even if they
are terrorists. It's not enough.... It's not like
we can single out, if we could just kill, it's
not World War II where there were certain
number of enemy formations, or factories
to produce aircraft and once you eliminated
these you could be pretty sure that the situ-
ation would appear different to the enemy
leadership. This is not that kind of a conflict.

When we kill people, we make enemies!
And when we kill the wrong people, it's
even worse and less defensible. 09/06/05

Porter Goss:

Islamic extremists are exploiting the Iraqi conflict to recruit new anti-U.S. jihadists. These
jihadists who survive will leave Iraq experienced and focused on acts of urban terrorism.
They represent a potential pool of contacts to build transnational terrorist cells, groups and
networks in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other countries.

Strategic Studies Institute of the Army War College

"Of particular concern has been the conflation of al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's Iraq as a
single, undifferentiated terrorist threat. This was a strategic error of the first order because it
ignored critical differences between the two in character, threat level and susceptibility to U.S.
deterrence and military action. The result has been an unnecessary preventive war of choice
against a deterred Iraq that has created a new front in the Middle East for Islamic terrorism and
diverted attention and resources away from securing the American homeland against further
assault by an undeterrable al-Qaeda.”

General William Odom

“ is far graver than Vietnam. There wasn't as much at stake strategically, though
in both cases we mindlessly went ahead with the war that was not constructive for
US aims. But now we're in a region far more volatile, and we're in much worse shape
with our allies.”

1. quote from Bush

"You see, not only did the attacks help accelerate a recession, the attacks reminded us that we are at war."—Washington, D.C., June 8, 2005

2. the where are the WMDs "joke"

At a black-tie dinner for journalists, Mr Bush narrated a slide show poking fun at himself and other members of his administration.

One pictured Mr Bush looking under a piece of furniture in the Oval Office, at which the president remarked: "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere."


After another one, showing him scouring the corner of a room, Mr Bush said: "No, no weapons over there," he said.

And as a third picture, this time showing him leaning over, appeared on the screen the president was heard to say: "Maybe under here?"

3. Trying to find the stupidest, "we fight them over there" quotes, it looks

like perhaps only Tommy Franks actually said this.

4. "Mission accomplished."

5. B*sh should have had a late night talk show because I could

easily laugh at him if he wasn't so dangerous.

"The United States and the U.S. stand together in support of the Iraqi people and the new Iraqi government, which will soon come into action."
Belgium, Feb. 22, 2005

See, he is a uniter. He got both the United States and the U.S. to support the Iraqi people. We may have lost Poland, but thank goodness the U.S. is still part of our coalition!

"We discussed the way forward in Iraq, discussed the importance of a democracy in the greater Middle East in order to leave behind a peaceful tomorrow."
Tbilisi, Georgia, May 10, 2005

See, witless W can be honest, unintentionally.

"Iraqis are sick of foreign people coming in their country and trying to destabilize their country."
Washington, D.C., May 5, 2004

Someone, kindly explain irony to the Dim Son.

6. here

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

7. Mission Accomplished!

[roseBudd]

8. So far none of those are quite right, it needs to be a far fetched reason

for the war that in contrast with the quotes from Clark, Goss and Odin show it to be the opposite of what Bush says that this was has increased the terror threat and served as a recruiting tool.

It will probably be a press conference quote, rather than a speech, because his speeches are scripted

9. Here are a few

"Before you went in, Iraqis were an oppressed people, and the dictator threatened his neighbors, the Middle East and the world. Today, the Iraqis are liberated people, the former regime is gone, and our nation and the world is more secure."
Miramar, California, Aug. 14, 2003

"We ended the rule of one of history's worst tyrants, and in so doing we not only freed the American people, we made our own people more secure."
Crawford, Texas, May 3, 2003

"The Ambassador and the General were briefing me on the -- the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice."
White House, Oct. 27, 2003

"A free and peaceful Iraq is going to be the kind of place where a tyrant can't summarily cut somebody's hand off. And some day an American President is going to sit down and talk to a duly-elected official from Iraq, talking about how to keep the peace in a volatile part of the world. And he or she as President is going to say, thank God my predecessor and the American people had great belief in liberty to transform the world."
Ohio, August 28, 2004

"The more people involved in Iraq, the better off we will be. And that's exactly what our intention is, to encourage people to participate in the -- making Iraq more secure and more free. A free Iraq is a crucial part of winning the war on terror. And now I'm going to go see to it that the Prime Minister is well fed. We're going to feed him some chicken."
Crawford, Texas, Jul. 21, 2003

"I have said that the sanction regime is like Swiss cheese. That meant that they weren't very effective."
Presidential press conference, White House, Feb. 22, 2001

"F-ck Saddam! we're taking him out."
as reported in Time Magazine, Mar. 24, 2003

10. Flyer finished and available for download here

Building on a flyer I created for the Kerry campaign using quotes from the Army War College, Porter Goss, General Odin, Wes Clark and the idiot in chief I have created a new flyer that demonstrates that military experts agree, the Iraq War is a strategic debacle. If we are going to effectively undermine the rationale for war we can't quote Noam Chomsky.
