An alternative speech for a president seeking support on Iraq

Time

Personally I think the original speech the President gave was just fine. He doesn't need stupid rubbish from a writer of Time magazine.

Yeah! Too many polysyllabic words for Dumbo.

Fine but one bit needs explaining:

" If we give up the fight in the streets of Baghdad, we will face the terrorists in the streets of our own cities"

What is the connection here? How does fighting in the streets of Baghdad have any connection with potential terrorist attacks in the USA? If Iraq was made stable and peaceful and the US then withdrew why would there not be terrorist attacks on the USA? Would it mean that all Islamic terrorists would stop? If so, why? After all there were terrorist attacks before anyone went to Iraq, including 9/11. And there have been terrorist attacks since e.g 7/7 in London.

Fred, I don't know why it should be so hard to understand. As long as we keep attracting all the terrorists with a grudge into Iraq, they won't be able to bother us in our streets here. Obviously we'll just have to stay there and keep on keeping on. We don't dare stop!

Thi is not hard to understand at all. We cut & run from Iraq, then the terrorist win. They see public opinion in the U.S. losing its resolve for fighting the war. That is more dangerous than conducting the war itself.

Why yes, this so obvious. We have the example of Vietnam, where we were told that if we didn't stop them Commies (who were backed by the evil Chinese Communists) they'd take over Hawaii, then California. We cut & ran, and look what happened! Hawaii and California are now full of Chinese Commies pretenting to be tourists. No doubt they are plotting to take over Hollywood and prodce movies that will drain us of our our precious bodily fluids. What's next, children of former Nazis becoming governor?

Fortunately, our president knows that the Constitution is just a ****** piece of paper.
