Bush on Iraq: can't let terrorists "establish...refuge in failed states"

[Stephanie]

Um, whose failed state is it, George?

And, who writes this sh*t?

<snip>

Bush said the United States must stay on the offense even as troop casualties mount and violence continues.

"Now they're trying to break our will with acts of violence," Bush said. "They'll kill women and children knowing that the images of their brutality will horrify civilized people. Their goal is to force us to retreat."

"They are going to fail," Bush said, leaning into the microphone and raising his voice.

"The stakes in Iraq could not be higher," he added, painting a bleak scenario if U.S. troops retreat and insurgents prevail. "We will not allow the terrorists to establish new places of refuge in failed states from which they can recruit and train and plan new attacks on our citizens," he said.

6. Can we get someone to ask him what he means by this?

Or would that be asking too much of the cowed press?
