Bush in the raw
From the autobiography of Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, a Bush "pep talk" with his national security team and generals following the death of four Blackwater contractors in Fallujah:
"Kick a**!" he quotes Bush as saying. "If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy, we will seek them out and kill them! We must be tougher than hell! This Vietnam stuff, this is not even close. It is a mind-set. We can't send that message. It's an excuse to prepare us for withdrawal."Ann Coulter couldn't have put it any better.
"There is a series of moments and this is one of them. Our will is being tested, but we are resolute. We have a better way. Stay strong! Stay the course! Kill them! Be confident! Prevail! We are going to wipe them out! We are not blinking!"
Needless to say, that "we" coming out of Bush's mouth is pronounced "you."
