Remarks by pReznit Stupid to the National Governors Association
'Is that it? No genuflecting to yer war preznit?'

We are on the hunt for al Qaeda. You just got to know that there's a lot of brave people searching them out. And I view the hunt for al Qaeda as part of the war on terror.* And it requires all assets, intelligence assets and military assets, to chase them down and bring them to justice. And we're doing pretty good** -- better than pretty good. If al Qaeda were a corporation, middle management has been brought to justice***. And that's important for you to know. We can take comfort about the progress we're making. But we've got a lot more to do. And so we'll just stay on the hunt here in -- out of Washington, D.C****.

As you know, I laid out some doctrine that said if you harbor a terrorist, you're just as guilty as the terrorist. Unless you're Saudi Arabia or Pakistan And it's very important for the administration to follow through when they say something. It makes diplomacy a little easier when your word means something instead of being known as a flaming liar, which is what I am, so I oughtta know
*Duh! Jebus...
**I'm not a grammer cop by any means, but this just sets my nerves twanging.
***Just like Ken Lay and the Enron indictments!
****I'll jus' sit here on my ass while real soldiers get shot 'n' killed!
[Saddam] had used weapons of mass destruction on his own people. He hid weapons of mass destruction from inspectors. In other words, he wouldn't be open.

The United Nations Security Council, at my request, took a look at the issue one last time, and unanimously voted to have Saddam reveal, disclose, and destroy weapons of mass destruction and/or weapons of mass destruction programs and, if not, face serious consequences.
Iraq complied, but we bombed 'em back into the stone age anyway.
Let me rewrite history a little more September the 11th affected my way of thinking* when it came to the security of the country. We saw a danger, and so I gave him an ultimatum** -- the world really gave him an ultimatum. And he refused***. And rather than take the word of a madman whose actions had proven unworthy of leadership****, we acted, and we removed him.
*Gah! Ahhh! Ahhhhhhh!!
**Even though Saddam had nothing whatsoever to do with the attacks.
***If by "refused" you mean letting the inspectors in to do their jobs.
****Ummmmm, pot/kettle???
