The President's Quotes From West Point

Jermyn Davidson · #1 05-22-2010, 04:29 PM

"This will not be a simple task but, this is what success looks like: an Iraq that provides no haven to terrorists, a democratic Iraq that is sovereign, stable and self-reliant."

"This is a different kind of war. There will be no simple moment of surrender to mark the journey's end; no armistice, no banner headline."

"Duty, honor, love of country-- everything you have learned here, all that you've achieved here, has prepared you for today."

Does anyone care to comment on any of these?

Has he "lowered the bar" in regards to victory in Iraq?

Was there a hidden "jab" at President Bush, or was he simply addressing America's desire for a confirmed and definite finality of the War on Terror in Iraq?

Does the President of the United States of America really hate the United States of America?

All of his quotes and his agendas have hidden meanings .Ocasionaly he slips and reveals more than he intended.

There's nothing to show.

He's a flawed human being who happens to be our democratically elected President.

Love him.

Embrace him.

He is your brother and President.

Those statements sound to me to be pretty much like the statements everyone else (except most Dems) have been making all along concerning the War on Terror.

In fact, if there's nothing in the context to mitigate what you have shown him to have said, he can probably expect to become the target of some Code Pink hijinks.

Tentatively, I say "Thank you, Mr. President. Thanks for catching up with the rest of the country on this one."

Ordinary kitchen tin foil, when wrapped around one's head actually accentuates your own natural ESP capabilities and you can read the "secret meanings" in the political speeches you see on the news and even reveal the locations of lost or misplaced articles like one's car keys.
