We're All Poopyfaces

Or so the President says because we just don't understand and have forgotten the lessons from September 11.

The failure in Iraq would endanger American security. I have told the American people often (yeah, and we aren't fucking listening anymore you moron) it is best to defeat them there so we don't have to face them here (you have told us this cliche thousands of times and it doesn't make any more sense now than the first time you said it), fully recognizing that what happens over there can affect the security here (how's that, again?). That's one of the major lessons of September the 11th. In that case, there was safe haven found in a failed state, where killers plotted and planned and trained, and came and killed 3,000 of our citizens (Sweet Jeebus, are you serious?). And I vowed we weren't going to let that happen again.

Secondly, the way to defeat the ideology that these people believe is through a competing ideology, one based upon liberty and human rights and human dignity. And there are some who (yeah, who is that some, just one more time?), I guess, say that's impossible to happen in the Middle East. I strongly disagree. I know it is hard work. I believe it is necessary work to secure this country in the long run.

Italics all mine. I'm all for making our "way of life" attractive to people all across the world. The problem is, as some might say, the way of life we are forcibly exporting is a gross distortion of the principles the founders established in the constitution. You know, things like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

As I like to say, what an asshole.
