'Bring Them On,' Bush Says to Iraq Attacks
Wed July 2, 2003 11:33 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush on Wednesday challenged militants who have been killing and injuring U.S. forces in Iraq, saying "bring them on" because American forces were tough enough to deal with their attacks.
"There are some who feel like that conditions are such that they can attack us there," Bush told reporters at the White House. "My answer is bring them on. We have the force necessary to deal with the situation."

Do you guys think this was a wise thing to say? What happens if there's a huge attack tomorrow and 30 US soldiers die? I think Bush needs to shut up... it's bad enough we're there in the first place. Now he's inviting Iraqi elements to kill American soldiers.

Increasing attacks have killed 26 U.S. soldiers since Bush declared major combat over on May 1. On Tuesday, assailants traveling in a vehicle in central Baghdad fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a U.S. military vehicle, wounding three soldiers. Another grenade slammed into a U.S. truck on a road south of Baghdad, injuring three soldiers, one of whom died at a field hospital overnight.

I found this quote to be relevant:

"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy,” Kissinger told Washington Post reporters Woodward and Bernstein (The Final Days, Simon & Schuster, 1976).

Just imagine the outcry from the Right if Clinton had said "Bring them on".

Unbelievable...

[Ecthy]

is that what you call de-escalation?

[Defiant]

It's an excellent comment, they are going to hit us anyway, maybe he will piss them off enough so they make a mistake or better yet, challenge us in the open, and then our forces will take care of it. Beautiful political move.! He should have called them cowards.

[Ecthy]

bull****, Defiant... there will just be more and more attacks, more and more victims

this isn't quite as easy as west berlin was...

More proof the Usurper is an idiot.

"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy,” Kissinger told Washington Post reporters Woodward and Bernstein (The Final Days, Simon & Schuster, 1976).

That quote pisses me off to no end.

Thats all I have to say on this topic.

[Sava]

It's an excellent comment,

not if you value the lives of America's soldiers....

[Defiant]

ESPECIALLY, if I value American soldier's lives.

There are some who feel like that conditions are such that they can attack us there," Bush told reporters at the White House. "My answer is bring them on. We have the force necessary to deal with the situation."

Which is nonsense when you consider how badly many outfits are exposed in the urban areas- plus they're doing double-duty police work.

somebody wake me from this nightmare.

[DanS]

is that what you call de-escalation?

Who said we wanted to de-escelate? We're killing the jihadists over there so they don't kill themselves over here.

[Defiant]

Don't you get it Ech, they are going to hit us anyway, bring in the open or make a mistake.

[Ecthy]

nonsense

[chequita guevara]

Not me, it was Sava.

[Ecthy]
