Bush to compare Iraqis to America's founders

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush is using a visit to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, birthplace of the U.S. Constitution, as a reminder before the Iraqi elections that the path to American democracy was not always easy either.

...

Monday's Iraq speech is Bush's third, part of a campaign to win support for the mission, with most Americans saying in polls that they disapprove of his handling of the war. The speech is scheduled for 11:15 a.m. ET.

The final address in the series is planned for Wednesday in Washington.

3. France, I think.
And just look how much gratitude and appreciation the Reich Wingers have for France today.

7. Well we do have our own version of King Louis, don't we?
Though he seems to have the competence of King George.

4. Bombings rocked Philadelphia in 1787
as the Constitutional Convention delegates remained huddled in the Green Zone behind heavy guard...

I guess we can add American histroy to the nearly endless of things pResident Turd is clueless about...

6. Junior has NO right to even MENTION The Constitution, the fucking
Little jumped up Neo-Nazi Hitler Wannabe hypocrite.

Junior and the Repukes are doing their level best at EVERY available opportunity to TRASH The Constitution, these pigs hate The Constitution it's in the way of their Fascist Agenda.

Junior has no right to make another lying, whoring speech from Philadelphia and bring The Constitution and the Founding Fathers into it.

The Founding Fathers warned us about the Junior's out there...they warned us about the government falling into the hands of tyrants.

9. Actually, he might be kinda right.
Let's see, a bunch of Anglo-Europeans invaded "America," killed most of the indigenous population in the name of "freedom," and then set up a government to control the population and commerce.

11. As an American, I object to that POS talking about my country's
history. Yes there were American insurgents opposed to and fighting against the illegal British occupation!
