Junior's radio address: "the Prime Minister of a free and sovereign Iraq"
I understand that Rove and Hughes get paid for writing some of Bush's speeches, but do they get paid for PHOTOCOPYING them?

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. This week, I was honored to welcome the Prime Minister of a free and sovereign Iraq to the White House. In less than three months, Prime Minister Allawi and his government have accomplished a great deal, despite persistent violence in parts of Iraq. The enemies of freedom are using suicide bombings, beheadings, and other horrific acts to try to block progress. We are sickened by their atrocities, but we will never be intimidated, and freedom is winning.

We're making steady progress in implementing our five-step plan toward the goal we all want: completing the mission so that Iraq is stable and self-governing, and American troops can come home with the honor they have earned.

In Najaf and other important areas, Iraqi military forces have performed with skill and success. The government's strategy is to surround and isolate enemy militias, reach out to the local population, and negotiate from a position of strength. Serious problems remain in several cities. Yet, Prime Minister Allawi believes this combination of decisive action and outreach to peaceful citizens is the most effective way to defeat the killers and secure the peace. And America stands with him.

The war for Iraq's freedom is a fight against some of the most ruthless and brutal men on Earth. In such a struggle, there will be good days and there will be difficult days. But every day, our resolve must remain the same: Iraq, America, and our coalition will stand firm, and Iraq will be free, the world will be more peaceful, and America will be more secure.

2. Iraq free from what? I just read 'Iraq, Year Zero' and wonder who are the
terrorists? US or the men who are fighting to keep their jobs in the factories and business that have supported them all their lives? We are allowed to just invade and take over their livlihoods and give them NOTHING!

The war for Iraq's freedom is a fight against some of the most ruthless and brutal men on Earth.

I find that statement quite telling

3. Oh. My bad. I thought we couldn't bring the troops home yet.
But now that the Iraqis are free and sovereign and all, what's taking so long?
