“The militants believe that controlling one country will rally the Muslim masses, enabling them to overthrow all moderate governments in the region and establish a radical Islamic empire that spans from Spain to Indonesia,” Bush said.

Don’t the terrorists, eh insurgents, or “militants” already control a few countries?  I’m pointing in the general direction of Syria and Iran.

And he said they are being “aided by elements of the Arab news media that incites hatred and anti-Semitism.”

Does he ever watch our “news” coverage?  Better yet, read some bumper stickers…

Bush argued the war in Iraq did not cause hatred of the United States among radical Muslims or global terror attacks, but rather is an “excuse” to further the goal of creating an Islamic state across the Mideast.

Let me get this straight.  It didn’t cause the hatred but it fueled it further?  Fantastic!

“Against such an enemy, there’s only one effective response: We never back down, never give in and never accept anything less than complete victory,” Bush declared.

Here’s a sticker for you…
