Bush ups rhetoric against Iraq, says Iraq must be 'liberated'
Middle East Online
President George W. Bush said Friday that the United States is ready to confront Iraq but warned US troops heading for the Gulf that "crucial hours" and "dangers" lay ahead.
The Iraqi military isn't as fearsome as Sammy is, but that doesn't mean there's going to be nothing tricky about taking it on — assuming we take it on, of course. Even in a war with next to no casualties, if you're one of the casualties it doesn't seem like a "cakewalk."
As the United States stepped up its military force in the Gulf, Bush also threw a new challenge to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to scrap his weapons of mass destruction and cooperate with the United Nations if he wants to avoid a conflict. "If force becomes necessary to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction and enforce the will of the United Nations, ... America will act deliberately, America will act decisively and America will prevail because we've got the finest military in the world," he told troops at Fort Hood, one of the biggest US military bases.
"And Sammy doesn't."
"Should Saddam Hussein seal his fate by refusing to disarm, by ignoring the opinion of the world, you'll be fighting not to conquer anybody, but to liberate people," he told troops.
