More Words in the President's

(9) You say I didn't have the answers in Iraq? Well, what were the questions? Was there this bad man? Was he running a bad country? That did bad things? Did it have a lot of oil money to do bad things with? Was it going to do more bad things? If those were the questions, was the answer ''more time to let international sanctions and U.N. weapons inspections do their job''? No, the answer was blow the place to bits.

(10) You say I didn't have a plan for the post-war problem of Iraq? I say we blew the place to bits--what's the problem?

(11) Yes, blowing a place to bits leaves a mess behind. But it's a mess without a military to fight aggressive wars. A mess without the facilities to develop dangerous weapons. A mess that can't systematically kill, torture, and oppress millions of its own citizens. It's a mess with a message--don't mess with us!

(12) Saddam Hussein was reduced to the Unabomber--Ted Kaczynski--a nutcase hiding in the sticks. Sure, the terrorism by his supporters is frightening. Hence, its name, ''terrorism.'' Killing innocent people by surprise is not called ''a thousand points of light.'' But, as frightening as terrorism is, it's the weapon of losers. The minute somebody sets off a suicide bomb, you can be sure that person doesn't have ''career prospects.'' And no matter how horrendous a terrorist attack is, it's still conducted by losers. Winners don't need to hijack airplanes. Winners have an Air Force.

(13) You say you're going to get our friends and allies to take a bigger role in Iraq. Senator Kerry, what friends and allies? You're a sophisticated fellow. You're well-traveled and speak French. Are there some countries out there that you know about and the rest of us have never heard of?

(14) Let me tell you something, Senator Kerry. I don't blame the U.N. for not supporting me in Iraq. The world is full of loathsome governments run by criminals, thugs, and beasts. When I mentioned ''regime-change,'' hairy little ears pricked up all over the earth. Beads of sweat broke out on low, sloping brows. Blood-stained, grasping hands began to tremble. I had to put poor Colin Powell on the phone to various hyenas in high office and have him explain that America itself needed regime-change from 1992 to 2000. And we didn't bomb the fellow responsible, and we only impeached him a little. Secretary Powell had to tell Kim Jung Il, Robert Mugabe, and Jacques Chirac to quit worrying and look at Bill Clinton and realize the fate that awaits them is a lucrative lecture tour, a best-selling book, and many willing, plump young women.

(15) Senator Kerry, you say you were in favor of threatening to use force on Saddam Hussein, but that actually using force was wrong. The technical term for this in political science is ''bullshit.''

(16) What are you going to do, Senator, give Saddam Hussein a mulligan and let him take his tee shot over?

In addition to outsourcing America?’s national defense, John Kerry apparently outsourced a good portion of his income.

Tommy Franks: Not a Kerry Fan

Tommy Franks: Not a Kerry Fan

Retired General Tommy Franks had some stinging words for John Kerry yesterday.

?“If his voting record ruled the day, Saddam Hussein would not only be running Iraq but Kuwait,?” Franks told about 200 people Sunday at a Reno rally.

?“The choice is very, very clear. We need decisive, strong, no-backing-down and no-equivocating leadership,?” he said.

Franks praised the Democratic challenger?’s military service during the Vietnam War, but said Kerry?’s later anti-war activities upset him.

?“The men I served with in Vietnam weren?’t war criminals and I?’m proud I served with them,?” Franks said. ...

?“I know a commander in chief when I see one and there?’s only one on the ballot,?” Franks said. ?“After September 11th, we were blessed to have a commander in chief who said enough is enough. There are two options: to fight them (terrorists) over there or to fight them over here. I?’m an over-there-kind-of-guy,?” he said.

In an interview before the rally, Franks said he doesn?’t foresee an endless cycle of violence in Iraq, and he thinks violence will diminish after the Nov. 2 election.

?“I believe they (insurgents) are influenced by what they see in our media,?” he told The Associated Press. ?“They see if they blow something up it?’s front-page news ... (and) the presidential candidates will talk about it.

?“After Nov. 2, that dynamic will leave. The problem won?’t go away, but it?’ll be diminished ... This will be a long process, but there will come a time when the insurgents have less opportunity to create mischief for us,?” he said.
