Gee, the song sounds familiar...and still out out of tune

Freedom is on the March...bitches!

The Iraqi Elections will fix that nation right up.

January 7, 2005:

President Bush expressed optimism Friday about Iraq's upcoming elections, saying they will be "an incredibly hopeful experience," despite rising violence and doubts that the vote will bring stability and democracy...

Bush took issue with a gloomy assessment of Iraq's future by Brent Scowcroft, who was chairman of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board under Bush and national security adviser under Bush's father. Scowcroft said in a speech Thursday that the Iraqi elections "have the great potential for deepening the conflict" and that divisions between Shiite and Sunni Muslims are likely to be increased.

"Quite the opposite," Bush said. "I think elections will be such an incredibly hopeful experience for the Iraqi people. Remember these are people that live in a society where if they didn't toe the line of the leadership, they would be tortured or killed or maimed. And all of the sudden a new way of life is being introduced into Iraq."

Bush acknowledged that security problems hang over the vote in four of Iraq's 18 provinces. The other provinces "appear to be relatively calm," the president said.

"Four of the 18 provinces are places where the terrorists are trying to stop people from voting," he said. "And the reason they're trying to stop people from voting is because they understand that democracies stand in the exact opposite to what they believe."

Remember those words, they will be denying them within three weeks.
