Recent Speeches by President Bush
FoxNews is running an article on the current round of speeches the President is making:
President Bush sent a message to Congress and the nation Thursday, declaring that America is committed to defeating terrorism and winning "the decisive ideological struggle of the 21st Century."Bush, in the third straight day of speeches aimed at reasserting the administration's plans for wining the War on Terror, told an audience in Atlanta that "we've learned the lessons of 9/11."
"We've transferred adversaries into allies," Bush told the Georgia Public Policy Foundation, in a reference to Iraq and Afghanistan. "America is safer and America is winning the War on Terror."
As the president stated, America is safer and winning the war on terror. But it ain’t over yet.
As long as we continue to elect leaders that understand that the terrorist thugs that have been plaguing Western Civilization for decades must be defeated, then we should be able to win the "War on Terror." To falter from the course of victory, to abandon fledgling allies such as Iraq and Afghanistan, or to blame America for the ills of the world is tantamount to handing victory to Al Qaeda and the enemies of Liberty.
Bush has also continued to push Congress to approve plans to try Gitmo detainees using a military tribunal. He has called on Congress to lay down the rules and outline how to achieve this goal of dealing with dangerous suspected terrorist thugs. These suspects include Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who is believed to be the primary architect of the attacks of 9/11.
"The sooner the Congress authorizes the military commissions I have called for, the sooner Khalid Sheik Mohammed will receive the justice he deserves," Bush said.
As long as he isn’t able to enjoy his "74 virgins in paradise," I am all for his receiving his just deserts. It is up to Congress to get things rolling, and to stop stonewalling the wheels of justice.
"Free nations are peaceful nations," he said. "Democracies do not attack each other... and are less likely to fall under the sway of radicalism," a reference to the recent war between Israel and Hezbollah radicals who have attempted to seize control of Lebanon.
When you look at the wars fought since the Great War, they were all started by, or in response to, totalitarian regimes: WW2 by Germany, Japan and Italy; The Korean War by North Korea, China and the U.S.S.R.; Vietnam by North Vietnam against the fledgling South Vietnam, later abandoned to the communists, along with its neighbors, Laos, Cambodia, to succumb to the darkness of totalitarianism; every conflict in Central and South America was started by communist insurgents; every conflict between Israel and its neighbors, where one side was a democracy fighting for its life versus a number of totalitarian nations allied against it. The list of conflicts goes on and on.
By establishing the foothold of Democracy deep in the Islamic World as is being achieved in Iraq and Afghanistan, we are paving the way to peace and freedom throughout that region. Hopefully it will take root and flourish.
