In Not So Many Words

Ummm, uhhh…, uhh, well, as you know, uh, a, it’s a , yeah, it’s hard. I know it’s hard, but it’s hard for a reason. Uh, well, the evildoers, they want to make it harder, to make it harder for Iraq to succeed. These people fear freedom; they fear the right of people to uh, uh, be free. We will be steadfast. We will succeed. Uh, now, uh you are trying to get me to negotiate with myself in public and I’m just not going to do that.

Now there’s an uh immediate threat here. It’s a crisis. There are actually people that would like to see us fail. And I’m not going to let that happen. We will succeed. These people uh, umm, as you know, they hate freedom. We will be steadfast. There’s a crisis that uh these people want that uh, a, a, a, fear, they want a crisis of fear. The evildoers, that’s what they want. But we won’t back down. Iraq will be a free society, these handful of people, of terrorists, will not sway us. And uh, uh, I will not answer these questions, because I will not uh, uh, like I said, negotiate with myself in public and that’s what you are uh trying to get me to do. Not gonna happen.

It’s a crisis and there’s uhh a grave and immediate threat. It must be reformed now, and I know, uhh that people are against it being reformed. But the threat is now and growing stronger everyday. It’s immediate and we will prevail. I know, I know it’s hard. Nothing isn’t easy. But we will prevail. This is a hard job, I know that. But the danger is now and the threat is real. And uh, uhhh, as you know, I already told you that you will not make me negotiate with myself in public. Mission accomplished.
