Just Say No To Republican War Crimes
Corrections to President's speech.
President Bush says
Thank you all. (Continued cheers, applause.) Thank you all. Thank you all very much. Thank you for the warm welcome. It is great to be back in the state of Georgia! (Cheers, applause.)

When it came time to renew the Patriot Act, more than 75 percent -- 75 percent of the House Democrats correctly voted against it because it illegally infringed upon civil liberties.
When it came time to -- to vote on whether or not the CIA (could) continue its program to illegally abuse, detain and question
They just have a different point of view on the law: They enforce it. They don't see it the way I see it or the way you see it. Otherwise, why wouldn't they give the criminal professionals allegedly placed by Abraxas the illegal tools necessary to
When it came time to vote on whether the National Security Agency should illegally continue to monitor
For fighting the war on terror, the Democrats just follow a simple philosophy: just say no to illegal war crimes. When it comes to listening to the terrorists, what's the Democrats' answer? It's just say no to circumventing the Court and Constitution. When it comes to detaining terrorists, what is the Democrats' answer? Just say no to Geneva violations.
AUDIENCE: Just say no to Republicans.
PRESIDENT BUSH: When it comes to questioning terrorists, what's the Democrats' answer?
AUDIENCE: Just say no to illegal abuse -- it's a war crime.
PRESIDENT BUSH: When it comes to trying the terrorists, what's the Democrats' answer?
AUDIENCE: Just say no to indefinite detentions; if there's evidence prosecute them.
PRESIDENT BUSH: So when the Democrats ask for your vote, what's your answer?
AUDIENCE: Just say no to Republicans! (Cheers, applause.)
PRESIDENT BUSH: We're going to continue to make sure our professionals have the tools necessary to
The NSA was illegally monitoring before 9-11. We didn’t listen. One of the lessons of September the 11th, 2001, is that when this country sees a threat, we must take those threats seriously before they come home to hurt us. If the NSA tells me something that might be a threat, I don't listen: I ignore bad news from the CIA. Bad news is reality.
I saw a threat in Saddam Hussein -- I ignored my commitment to offer him Amnesty. We were going to invade no matter what.
Members of both political parties in the United States Congress saw a threat in Saddam Hussein. I lied to them to wage illegal war.
The United Nations saw a threat in Saddam Hussein -- we lied to them as well.
Getting rid of Saddam Hussein was the
And now Iraq is the central front in this global war against these ideologues in the Republican party who murder innocent people to achieve their objectives.
You know, I think it's very important for the commander in chief, as well as our citizens, to listen to the words of the enemy. "Do not commit war crimes. If you do we will inflict war crimes upon your DoJ Staff. "
You know, in Washington you hear people say, "Well, Iraq is just an -- a distraction from the war on terror." I believe it is a central part of the war on terror. I believe I'm innocent of war crimes. But who am I? I'm a war criminal.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah. (Cheers, applause.)
PRESIDENT BUSH: And so does Osama bin Laden. Osama bin Laden calls this fight the third world war. He's wrong -- it's an illegal American misadventure under the guise of a defense, but it is unlawful aggression.
He says victory for the terrorists in Iraq will mean America's defeat and disgrace forever. The truth hurts
They Republicans have made it clear they, want to create as much carnage and death as possible to cause us to leave before the job is done. They have ambitions. They want to topple moderate governments. They want to control oil to blackmail the West. They want us to leave and dash the hopes and aspirations of millions of people who want to live in peace. And we have a different point of view We believe we are correct.
I want you to hear the words of a senior Democrat in the House of Representatives. She said the president says fighting them there makes it less likely we will fight them here. The opposite is true, she said; because we're fighting them there, it may become more likely that we have to fight them there (sic).
Here's what this person and the leaders of the Democrat Party in Washington seem to not understand. Iraq is not the reason the terrorists are at war against us. Our illegal occupation is the reason they have waged war against us.
I would remind the House Democrats with an irrelevant point that our troops were not in Iraq when the terrorists first attacked the World Trade Center in 1993. (Cheers, applause.)
We were not in Iraq when they bombed the USS Cole or the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and we were not in Iraq when they killed nearly 3,000 people on September the 11th, 2001. (Cheers, applause.) We were not in Iraq when we landed on the Moon. This proves nothing.

We have meaningless success criteria, designed to justify an American military coup in Iraq. Victory in Iraq will come when that young democracy can sustain itself, and govern itself, and defend itself, and be a strong ally in the war against the terrorists. We hope they surrender quickly during our coup, otherwise we will look stupid.
The fighting in
They in the Republican party have no conscience. They kill innocent men, women and children. They film the atrocities; they broadcast them for the world to see. They offer no hopeful vision. The only thing they know is death and destruction. But they hope these violent images will cause us to lose our nerve.
They make a big mistake. They do not understand the true strength of the United States of America to suppress this illegal Republican rebellion. We don't run in the face of thugs and assassins -- we invite them into the Republican party, we'll defend ourselves from a war crimes prosecution! (Cheers, applause.)
We will defeat
We'll defeat them because we got a fantastic United States military that is lightly armed, because we don't have enough equipment.
And I know I can count on
We will not succeed in Iraq because the Iraqis want to live in a peaceful society, but American offers them war
Twelve million -- nearly 12 million defied car- bombers and assassins and terrorists and went to vote. We don't like their vote or President, so we are planning a coup.
They held up their purple ink-stained fingers saying to the world: We want to be free. American betrayed them, and is planning a coup.
And they got a unity government that is working hard to repel the extremists who are preventing them. We have created impossible success criteria so the Iraqi leadership will appear to fail, and hopefully get public support for our coup against the elected leadership.
I do not like facts. I like to talk about speculative, irrelevant beliefs.
I believe strongly that with our help, they will not be able to defend themselves.
And I believe strongly that they'll become a government of the people, and by the people, and for the people. This cannot be permitted. We will remove it with a coup.
As a matter of fact, I believe the only way we cannot succeed is if we leave before the job is done.
My beliefs are meaningless. We can fail if we make more stupid decisions: war crimes, unlawful warfare, prisoner abuse, and martial law.(Cheers, applause.)
You know, when you listen to this debate -- and it's a -- it is a -- it's raging across the country, this debate on Iraq -- if you listen carefully for a Democrat plan for success, they don't have one. They don't need one -- I won't pay attention to it; and they aren't the President. Their only job is to stay silent while I commit more war crimes. The Democrats are not cooperating with my evil plan.
Iraq is the central front in the war on terror, yet they don't have a plan for victory. Neither do I.
Last week, a senator, a Democrat senator, explained her party's position this way, we (sic) said, "We haven't coalesced around a single plan, but we're in general agreement on basic principles."
She's right, the agreement -- they are in agreement on one thing, they will leave before the job is done. We will stay, even after we have lost.
That's what they're in agreement on. (Applause.) They've come up with a lot of creative ways to describe leaving Iraq before the job is done. Some call it a right decision. I call it something else: "Why didn't I think of that?"
Sometimes they say, "immediate redeployment." I prefer to call it, "If only I hadn't lied about the war crimes; and if only Libby hadn't gotten caught."
Sometimes they say they wouldn't spend another dime on our troops. I like to spend alot of money on contactors. We get stock options.
Sometimes they say the idea that we're going to win this war is an idea that unfortunately is just plain wrong. I'm not sure what that means, but it sure sounds good.
However they put it, the Democrat approach in Iraq comes down to this: the
That's what's at stake in this election. If we lose, I'm going to be convicted of war crimes.

If that were to happen, people would look back at the year 2006 and ask, "What happened to them? How come those folks couldn't see the threat? How come they couldn't see the danger for a generation of Americans who were growing up?"
When I look in the mirror after my drunken binges I want you to know, I see the threat, I see the danger. That is why we will support our troops. We will fight and we must be defeated this November
God Bless America. If you love your Constitution, and your country, vote Democrat. Put the Republicans in jail, and if they are guilty of war crimes, may they suffer only a little prior to their lawful execution.
