The Minnesota Republican e-newsletter, GOP Newsline, reported Bush's comments on the transfer of power in Iraq Tuesday, June 29, 2004:
President Bush called the [Iraq] handover "a day of great hope for Iraqis, and a day that terrorist enemies hoped never to see. The terrorists are doing all they can to stop the rise of a free Iraq. But their bombs and attacks have not prevented Iraqi sovereignty, and they will not prevent Iraqi democracy."
Does anyone else think that Bush is completely missing the message the terrorists are trying to communicate? They were taking AMERICAN prisoners, doesn't that mean that they want AMERICANS gone and Iraq to be independent? Or is it just that he wants Americans to think that the terrorists message is "Stay Americans! Can't you see we need you!"?
