Bush told the troops that "much more will be asked of you in the months and years ahead."
"Not only are we going to Iraq... we're going to Iran and Syria and Egypt and North Korea and Libya, and we're going to France and Germany and Russia! And we're going to China and Sudan and Pakistan and Indonesia. And then we're going to every other country in the world till there's nothing left! Yeeeeeaaaaaargh!"
