Political Quotes

“two days ago, horrifying video broadcast by the Arab satellite station Al Jazeera filtered back to us here showing tortured and murdered American troops. I want Saddam to know that here in America we are angry, and we want justice. The brutal treatment of our unarmed troops has produced in America a wave of defiance; Absolute disgust of Saddam; Magnified the determination of our American military; and Hardened our commitment to remove this barbaric regime. This treatment provides a sharp reminder of the past cruelty American prisoners of war suffered during the Second World War, Korea and Vietnam. As a nation, we endured these hardships then--we will endure them now. However, we will endure this pain only until we have Saddam and the generals who ordered these killings--then we will seek the justice our murdered servicemen deserve. Deliberately killing our men will not weaken our resolve or change our goal to free Iraq. The regime of Saddam Hussein will be removed-- the outcome of the conflict is determined and settled. We will win, we will bring our troops back home and we will punish the Iraqi murderers.”
