 |
|
At the joint news conference today some dumb reporterette brought up the NIE conclusion
that terrorism has grown because of our war in Iraq.
President Bush answered her question first,
then Karsai delivered a terrific butt-kicking!
TRANSCRIPT
| Quote: | ~SNIP~
KARZAI: Ma'am...
BUSH: Why don't you ask them — yeah, you got the two-part question.
KARZAI: Ma'am, before I go to the remarks by my brother, President Musharraf, terrorism was hurting us way before Iraq or September 11. The president mentioned some examples of it.
These extremist forces were killing people in Afghanistan and around for years, closing schools, burning mosques, killing children, uprooting vineyards with vine trees, grapes hanging on them, forcing populations to poverty and misery.
They came to America on September 11, but they were attacking you before September 11 in other parts of the world.
We are a witness in Afghanistan as to what they are and how they can hurt. You are a witness in New York.
Do you forget people jumping off the 80th floor or 70th floor when the planes hit them? Can you imagine what it will be for a man or a woman to jump off that high?
Who did that? And where are they now? And how do we fight them, how do we get rid of them, other than going after them? Should we wait for them to come and kill us again?
That's why we need more action around the world, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, to get them defeated. Extremism, their allies, terrorists and the likes of them.
Cont'd... |
I bet this doesn't get much Media play!

And we've had investigations, we had the 9/11 Commission, we had the look-back this, we've had the look-back that.
And so I'm going to continue to work to protect this country. And we'll let history judge all the different fingerpointing and all that business.

Amazing! The President of Afghanistan gets it. The American left doesn't.
