REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT TO THE ASSOCIATED BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS

Capital Hilton Hotel Washington, D.C.

<snip>

Just as an example of what I'm talking about, Iraqi and coalition forces have captured more weapon caches since the beginning of the year than they did all of last year. Why? Because people are beginning to trust that the security situation will improve. They're willing to step forward. Most people want to live in peace. Iraqi mothers want their children to grow up in a peaceful world, just like our mothers do. There's something universal about motherhood, isn't there? They want something better for their children, and they don't like the violence, and they're expecting their government to help them. And that's what we're doing; we're helping to provide security.

Makes a lot of sense, asshat. :eyes:

[AngryAmish]

7. unless you are a dude

[Javaman]

8. There is also something universal about...

motherfuckerhood. and moron* has shown us that.

[RB TexLa]

9. I guess that means he thinks my wife is from another universe because she is not a mother?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. I know some kids here in the US that would disagree with him.

Not that he cares about them or the violence they've seen at the hands of their mothers.

[ginnyinWI]

11. looks to me as if he's seasoning his lies with truths like these

so that people go, "um, yeah, that's sounds about right." His lies have made me sick with rage for the last five years or so.

[GeorgeGist]

12. they're expecting THEIR government to help them. ...

And that's what WE'RE doing; we're helping to provide security.

[Sparkly]
