I think he is referring to Sadam (Iraq) and the Taliban (Afghanistan). However, it would appear to me as though the Al Queada is more prevalent than ever in that part of the world. We have replaced Sadam and the Taliban with puppet governments that will fold soon after we leave. Who will fill the governmental positions then?

Across the globe, our military is standing directly between our people and the worst dangers in the world, and Americans are grateful to have such brave defenders. (Applause.) The war on terror has brought great costs. For those who have lost loved ones in Afghanistan and Iraq, today is a day of last letters and fresh tears. Because of the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, two terror regimes are gone forever, freedom is on the march, and America is more secure. (Applause.) </quote> What two terror regimes are gone forever? I can maybe see Husein being gone, but it still seems to me that there are remnants of it left and those remnants seem to be causing a lot of trouble. Also, maybe it's Afganistan he's talking about, but haven't there been reports of Al Caeda making inroads again? Plus, it's not like Al Caeda was ever defeated, they just scrambled and probably regrouped right? It's not like we have the "head" of Osama. To me, this kind of speech reminds me of the "Mission Accomplished" banner. He's just a little over eager to tout his accomplishments. -- Marlon "Only a Sith thinks in absolutes!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:159350 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
