A few 4-year-old quotes from Bush on how he was going to end Terra.
NOTE: All comments following the quotes are from the Webmaster of dubyaspeak.com.



http://www.dubyaspeak.com/war2001.shtml

1). I was on Air Force One the day of the attack, working my way back to Washington via Louisiana and Nebraska -- making sure that the President was safe and secure.
-- Suffering from some sort of ailment that keeps him talking about himself in the third person, or suffering from amnesia as to his occupation, Crawford High School, Crawford, Texas, Nov. 15, 2001

2). And how that -- what that means to the economy, it means that the -- it means that over time, our economy is going to be just as strong as the American spirit. And so I'm very optimistic about the economy. How long it will take to recover to the levels that we hope is just -- is beyond my pay grade.
-- Making little sense, in statements to the Homeland Security Council, White House, Oct. 29, 2001

3). The press often ask me, well, is this the -- is the evil one hiding from us in Afghanistan, the ones who have done this to America? I said, I don't know. We don't know yet. But we do know the evil one who hides thinks in ways that we can't possibly think in America -- so destructive, such a low regard for human life. And anybody who puts anthrax, trying to kill American citizens, shares the same set of values. Whoever has done it shares that same value of evil that we saw on September the 11th.
-- I don't even know where to begin on this one, White House, Oct. 26, 2001

4). You see, the evildoers like to hit and then they try to hide. And slowly, but surely, we're going to make sure they have no place to hide. Slowly, but surely, we're going to move them out of their holes and what they think is safe havens, and get them on the move... In my speech to the Congress, I said, sometimes the American people aren't going to see exactly what's taking place on their TV screens. But slowly, but surely, the results are coming in... We're beginning to share intelligence amongst our nations. We're finding out members of the al Qaeda organization, who they are, where they think they can hide. And we're slowly, but surely, bringing them to justice. We're slowly, but surely, calling their hand and reining them in.
-- Speaking to employees at FEMA Headquarters, Washington, D.C., Oct. 1, 2001, slowly, but surely

2. Well, he got the "slowly" part right!
If bringing them to justice was any slower, one could surmise it wasn't happening at all.

Because everyone knows that "via Louisiana and Nebraska" is the BEST way to get to Washington!

That should be a slogan for American Airlines or something.
