Bush Arrives, Speaks, Paper Fails to Report Complete Message
Deseret Morning News: Bush wows S.L. crowd
And that’s not a crowd to be easily wowed!
Actually, the article mentions the hometowns of a few members of the late-night sycophantic welcoming committee: Saratoga Springs, Layton, Draper … not so much a crowd from Salt Lake as a crowd in Salt Lake, one might deduce.
The article includes snippets from Bush’s brief address to his adoring followers. These are noted below, including statements not included in the report, but which we believe to be honest renditions of the President’s complete message.
That’s why I decided to cut and run from Afghanistan and al Qaeda to create a breeding ground for more terrorists in Iraq and secure Iran’s position as the dominant player in the Middle East.
That means our home and their homes. See, it’s like I said about Osama bin Laden back when I was lying – er, I mean, trying – to shift our focus to Iraq: “I don’t know where he is. You know, I just don’t spend that much time on him.”
Earlier in the day, Bush prefaced the series of speeches he will be kicking off Thursday in Salt Lake:
We learned that from Afghanistan. See, it’s kinda like lying: once you tell a lie, you find that it leads to more lies, and before you know it, you’re living in a world of complete fiction. That’s how Cuttin’ an’ runnin’ works. We cut and run from al Qaeda, and sooner or later, we’ll have to do the same in Iraq – just as soon as we come up with a catchy phrase that makes it sound like that’s not really what we’re doing. The plain fact is that the voters of this nation missed their chance to cut and run when it might have actually done some good: November 2004, when they could have cut and run from my administration.
And maybe we’ll get back to that someday, after were done fighting insurgents in Iraq.
Because, as my opponent in the last election pointed out, fighting terrorism really is about using good intelligence and sound police work to capture these international criminals and “bring them to justice.”
Of course, this means we will continue to scale back liberty here at home, so we can spread it around in other places. You see, there’s only so much liberty to go around, so Americans will have to continue making sacrifices in this respect. See, it’s kinda like Israel’s one slice of bread, and Iran is another. You spread some liberty here, and maybe some peace over there … and before you know it, the entire Middle East turns into a nice little liberty and peace sandwich. A lot of people ask me, what’s your strategy for peace in the Middle East? Well, I just told you!

"Our most important duty is to protect American people from further attack."
That’s why I decided to cut and run from Afghanistan and al Qaeda to create a breeding ground for more terrorists in Iraq and secure Iran’s position as the dominant player in the Middle East.
"We will defeat the terrorists abroad so we do not have to fight them at home,"
That means our home and their homes. See, it’s like I said about Osama bin Laden back when I was lying – er, I mean, trying – to shift our focus to Iraq: “I don’t know where he is. You know, I just don’t spend that much time on him.”
Earlier in the day, Bush prefaced the series of speeches he will be kicking off Thursday in Salt Lake:
The president told reporters Wednesday during an earlier stop in Little Rock,
Ark., that his speeches will be "about the future of this country, and they're
speeches to make it clear that if we retreat before the job is done, this nation
would become even more in jeopardy."
We learned that from Afghanistan. See, it’s kinda like lying: once you tell a lie, you find that it leads to more lies, and before you know it, you’re living in a world of complete fiction.

"We have a duty in this country to defeat terrorists.”
And maybe we’ll get back to that someday, after were done fighting insurgents in Iraq.
“That's why we'll stay on the offense and bring them to justice before they hurt us,”
Because, as my opponent in the last election pointed out, fighting terrorism really is about using good intelligence and sound police work to capture these international criminals and “bring them to justice.”
“and that's why we'll work to spread liberty in order to spread the peace."
Of course, this means we will continue to scale back liberty here at home, so we can spread it around in other places.
