Bush In Charleston, Al Qaeda in Iraq
Reminding us of the good fight against Al Qaeda in Iraq:
Here's the video of the whole speech.
The key theater in this global war is Iraq. Our troops are serving
bravely in that country. They're opposing ruthless enemies, and no enemy is more
ruthless in Iraq than al Qaeda. They send suicide bombers into crowded markets;
they behead innocent captives and they murder American troops. They want to
bring down Iraq's democracy so they can use that nation as a terrorist safe
haven for attacks against our country...
There's a debate in Washington about
Iraq, and nothing wrong with a healthy debate. There's also a debate about al
Qaeda's role in Iraq. Some say that Iraq is not part of the broader war on
terror...
That would be news to Osama bin Laden. He's proclaimed that the "third
world war is raging in Iraq." Osama bin Laden says, "The war is for you or for
us to win. If we win it, it means your defeat and disgrace forever." I say that
there will be a big defeat in Iraq and it will be the defeat of al Qaeda.
