Don't know where you heard THAT. The President told us that we needed to be vigilant, but also that we should live our lives in spite of any terrorists who want to hurt us. He didn't want us cowering in our homes in fear, because that's not necessary.
He knew that having our military in Iraq would attract the Jihadists there, and that's exactly what happened, but he also told us that many of the victories against terrorists who wanted to strike us here, again, would not be publicized, so we'd likely not know about them for years, if at all.
It wasn't a quote it was though the message.
[Dubya] he also told us that many of the victories against terrorists who wanted to strike us here, again, would not be publicized, so we'd likely not know about them for years, if at all.
I don't have a problem with this strategy either...I think all too often we tell too much, but that doesn't mean the enemy within should not be engaged and he has failed to engage congress and the liberals.
I have a feeling you and I will disagree but I would have and still would like to see the war prosecuted more like a war rather than a series of police actions.
I believe Iraq is the Germany of the 21st century, in that strategically we need that position. for all that I have "bashed" Dubya and praised him, I can confidently say this....By February 1, 2009 we will all wish he was still president.
