George Bush actually said...

It is right that Iraqis are making these decisions and for the first time in generations determining their own future.

The greatest threat of our age is nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons in the hands of terrorists and the dictators who aid them.

We cannot turn a blind eye to oppression just because the oppression is not in our own backyard.

Democracy will succeed in Iraq, because our will is firm, our word is good, and the Iraqi people will not surrender their freedom.
