Election Day: T - 3Days and Counting

"It didn't start with 9/11. That was the most spectacular attack within America's borders on American soil, but this has been going on for 20 years. I mean, I don't know what you say to [people who claim that there is no terrorist threat]. It's like someone saying "the sun rises in the west and sets in the east". It's been attack, attack, attack. The Khobar Towers, the embassy bombings, the attacks on our troops in Saudi Arabia, the West Berlin discotheque, the two attacks on the World Trade Center. Although we don't know much publicly about what's been happening, the Bush administration has been rounding up terrorist groups in this country... [but] when a president makes a prediction about the future that turns out to be untrue, that's not a lie, that's making an incorrect prediction... [and] when liberals look at war, they want to run and hide. It does make you wonder, can America ever fight a war if liberals have their way? I mean, the Battle of Iwo Jima took 17,000 men over a few weeks. 17,000 men -- that's a SINGLE battle. And the country went on and won the war... we know we can flatten any city in 10 minutes. The Pentagon can call that in. What's amazing about this war is how this military can go in strategically, protect mosques, protect civilians, at risk to itself, and the bravery of our troops -- it's an amazing war. And if, if this is what liberals are going to quit over, then there's no war we can EVER fight... even if liberals will deny the numerous connections between Al Qaida and Iraq, the point is that without a serious, adult, quasi-democratic government in these countries you have lunatics like Osama bin Laden running wild. Actually, a war in Afghanistan is less justifiable in some ways than Iraq. It's not like that was always Osama's home. He had just moved there from the Sudan. He's a lunatic moving from country to country. We need to create an Arab Israel, and that's what we're doing in Iraq... a government that we can deal with."
