Bush to say Iraq is front line against Iran, Al-Qaeda
US President George W. Bush on Tuesday will describe Iraq as the front-line against Shiite extremism championed by Iran and the Sunni extremism of Al-Qaeda, an aide said Monday.

Bush was due to level the charge in a speech to the American Legion veterans group, the second of two presidential addresses meant to bolster support for the war in Iraq ahead of a critical September 15 progress report.

"The president will talk about Sunni extremism and Shia extremism. Neither represents Islam. They represent a brutal and heartless ideology of death and destruction," a senior aide told reporters in a preview of the speech.

"Sunni extremism is embodied by Al Qaeda and its many affiliates. Shia extremism by Iran and its support of Hezbollah, Hamas, the Taliban and its pursuit of nuclear technology," the official said on condition of anonymity.

3. The world is becoming the front line against America
which, under Bush, has become the greatest threat to peace and progress.

6. Funny to think the US depends on the world to finance its own extremism in militarism,
military industrial complex, and military ventures. Sorta like pissing on the goose that lays the golden egg and thinking such action will never egg on the goose to stop laying her golden eggs.

4. What is his plan
we always here the Dems don't have a plan for Iraq. If you truely believe Mr. President that we our fighting Sunni extremists and Shia extremists than whats your plan. Is this your plan to fight over there instead of over here. If thats the case Mr. President how about the Iraqi people what about there lives? What are you going to do Mr. President kill every extremists in the Middle East is that your plan. Well Mr. President as long as you are on Middle East soil you are going to create more extremisms than we have ever saw. So Mr. President what is your plan for Iraq and the people of Iraq? How are you going to deal with all the extremists that you have created.

5. So, basically he is declaring war against all of them?
This will work out well, just like everything else he touches.

7. We the people or the congress need to get the word to Bush
to STFU and go to his Texas ranch and stay there until his term is up. He's fucked up enough, the nation is already in a hole and he's out there steady digging the hole deeper. All Foreign Policy decisions should be stripped from him and giving to congress until the next president is elected. When are the people of this country going to realize that this guy is an incompetent raving lunatic who's jeopardizing the future of this country. We should learn from Germany's mistake, they sat by while their country was run in the ground by a madman, we should not let that happen here.
