His thoughts, my thoughts

OK, so I tried to keep it short, that fact is I could have gone on all night, and I have better things to do. Take a look, my words are in italics his words are the crazier crap on the page.

"We continued our efforts to help them rebuild their country (a country that until our invasion was in pretty good shape economically and physically despite years of sanctions). Rebuilding a country after three decades of tyranny is hard — and rebuilding while at war is even harder. Our progress has been uneven — but progress is being made. We are improving roads, and schools, and health clinics … and working to improve basic services like sanitation, electricity, and water (all of which were pretty OK prior to our invasion). And together with our allies, we will help the new Iraqi government deliver a better life for its citizens." (after the civil war waging right under our noses is over)

"In January 2005, more than eight million Iraqi men and women voted in elections (down from the originally stated 13 million we said immediately after the election seems like they have counting problems too, well, we are trying to share our form of 'democracy') that were free and fair — and took place on time."

"The United Nations is in Iraq to help Iraqis write a constitution (had to after we abolished the old one, including the stuff that we agreed with)and conduct their next elections."

"The principal task of our military is to find (put on a cowboy hat and walk outside the Green Zone, you'll find 'em alright) and defeat the terrorists "(as we have done with Osama Bin Laden...er...well...no and the Taliban in Afganistan...er...well..no )

"Our strategy can be summed up this way: As the Iraqis stand up, we will stand down. (except like in Fallujah where standing up got them shot)
(and what about the Afghans?)

"Some Americans ask me, if completing the mission is so important, why don't you send more troops? (wait a minute, what about that Mission Accompllished stuff, ya know, the aircraft carrier, the tight little jumpsuit? If our commanders on the ground say we need more troops, I will send them. But our commanders tell me they have the number of troops they need to do their job. (Has he been listening to the military guys? It doesn't look that way. Why is he telling Tony Blair to send more Brit Troops and encouraging everybody else to step up with more boots on the ground?)
They are doing that by building the institutions of a free society — a society based on freedom of speech, freedom of assembly (oh except for that little tiff earlier today when Iraqis began firing into a group of people demonstrating for better jobs), freedom of religion (because the Christian Right needs room to grow), and equal justice under law. (so long as it isn't Islamic Law)
"And as Iraqis see that their military can protect them, more will step forward with vital intelligence to help defeat the enemies of a free Iraq. (like maybe the occupiers???)
