THIS IS THE ONLY SPEECH BUSH EVER GAVE IN WHICH HE TOLD THE TRUTH

My Fellow Americans, as we gather tonight, our nation is despised, our economy is in shambles, and the civilized world faces unprecedented dangers from those who would attack others preemptively. The State of our Union has never been worse.

In the sixteen months since my experience at the Booker School, our nation has confounded the victims, questions abound about the 9/11 attacks on New York and the Pentagon, a great coalition opposes our imminent invasion of Iraq, bin-Laden remains free. We have rid the world of thousands of innocent civilians, we continue to retain and quarter our own people, and we attempt to remove Venezuela's democratically elected government.

The American flag is spat on throughout the world. Terrorists who once occupied Afghanistan are now returning. And terrorist leaders who urged followers to sacrifice their lives are preparing to strike at us if we invade Iraq.

Our decline is a tribute to the spirit of the right wing in our land, to the lack of resolve of our coalition of the willing, and to the might of the United States military, some of whom actually support me tonight. When our troops see action in Iraq, they will be subjected to salvaging those burning oil fields and Gulf War Syndrome.

For many Americans, these sixteen months have brought sorrow and pain that will never completely go away. Every day a retired firefighter returns to Ground Zero, to feel closer to his two sons who died there, I'm sure he wonders how it all happened.

Last month, at the grave of her husband, Kristen Breitweiser cursed me for not pursuing an investigation as to how her husband died in the WTC. I feel her pain, and I would only tell her why, but it is best not to reveal our agencies sources and methods, especially while we are at war. We must tell all those who have lost a loved one that our cause is just, and that our country will never forget the importance of gas required by those SUVs, for which you can now deduct up to $75,000.

MORE....

:hi:

Our cause is derided, and it continues. Saddam has confirmed our worst fears, and showed us the true scope of the task ahead. His duplicity is unequaled. U.N. observers continue to look for weapons. But they will never find them. I have the proof. Someday, I may show it to you, Hans Blix.

Some wonder about those 19 men who hijacked planes on September the 11. How come they were unaccounted for on the airline passenger lists and at least seven are still alive? Good questions.

Hundreds of foreigners have been arrested without legal representation. Yet, tens of thousands of trained terrorists are still at large. Yes, I suppose we will get them one by one if necessary, just like we will get Bin -Laden.

Our military have supposedly put the terror training camps of Afghanistan out of business, yet for some reason, these camps are reappearing. They still exist in at least a dozen countries. A terrorist underworld -- including groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Jaish-i-Mohammed -- operates in remote jungles and deserts, and hides in the centers of large cities. They are waiting for an excuse to strike again. They will retaliate for our coming invasion of Iraq.
