And for America, there will be no going back to the era before September 11th, 2001 -- to false comfort in a dangerous world. We have learned that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength -- they are invited by the perception of weakness. And the surest way to avoid attacks on our own people is to engage the enemy where he lives and plans. We are fighting that enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan today, so that we do not meet him again on our own streets, in our own cities.Here he his again, tying Iraq to 9.11 - pandering to the misinformed poll respondents who still believe that patently false notion.
The terrorist activity in Iraq was close to nil before Crackhead commanded our kids charge in there last March. Now it's swarming with it.
I'm getting tired of pointing out the obvious.
