Bush: "Removing Saddam Hussein was the right decision, and the world is better off for it."

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/061103/dcf022.html?.v=74

<snip>

THE PRESIDENT: We need people in the Congress who understand the stakes of this war. We need people in the Senate and the Congress who understand our most important job is to protect you. We need to make sure our professionals have the tools necessary to do so. That's why you got to send Jim Talent to the United States Senate. (Applause.)

We're on the offense. Every day, this country is on the offense against those who would do you harm. You cannot plot and plan if you're on the run. It is hard to organize a strike on America if you're hiding. So you just got to know there's a lot of really brave people on the hunt.

One of the lessons of September the 11th is that when we see a threat we have got to take that threat seriously before it materializes. It's an essential lesson in this new war. I saw a threat in Saddam Hussein; members of the United States Congress, both political parties, saw the same threat; the United Nations saw the threat. Removing Saddam Hussein was the right decision, and the world is better off for it. (Applause.)



I feel so much safer:

U.S. Web Archive Is Said to Reveal a Nuclear Primer

Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who had said they hoped to “leverage the Internet” to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.


But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb.

Last night, the government shut down the Web site after The New York Times asked about complaints from weapons experts and arms-control officials. A spokesman for John Negroponte, the director of national intelligence, said access to the site had been suspended “pending a review to ensure its content is appropriate for public viewing.”

8. Refuting his own NIE report that removing Saddam has made the world
less safe.

God, I hate when Bush talks like that. He makes those kinds of statements as if they were scientifically proven facts, and no one calls him on it. I wish just one reporter would ask, "On what basis do you say that? Can you please back it up?"
