"We made a tough decision when it came to Iraq. . . . And we made the right decision when it came to Iraq." -- Bush
Iraqi forces "are striking their enemies wherever they hide." -- Allawi
Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and President Bush head to the Rose Garden for a news conference. Much of what Allawi said in his speech to a joint meeting of Congress sounded strangely familiar.

Friday's Question:
| | |
|
"We're fighting these enemies wherever they hide." -- Bush
"I have come here to . . . promise you that your sacrifices are not in vain." -- Allawi
"We will complete the mission so that their child or their husband or wife has not died in vain." -- Bush
"I have many friends who were murdered, tortured or raped by the regime of Saddam Hussein. . . . We estimate at least 300,000 in mass graves." -- Allawi
"Because we acted, torture rooms are closed, rape rooms no longer exist, mass graves are no longer a possibility in Iraq." -- Bush
"Creating a democratic, prosperous and stable nation . . . which lives in peace with itself and its neighbors is our highest priority." -- Allawi
"A stable, democratic and prosperous Iraq will no longer be a breeding ground for terror, tyranny and aggression." -- Bush
"There are fanatics who seek to impose a perverted vision of Islam." -- Allawi
"The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism . . . that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam." -- Bush
"These killers may be just a tiny fraction of our 27 million population." -- Allawi
"There's only a few relative to the 25 million who are trying to stop the march of freedom." -- Bush
"These murderers have no political program or cause other than push our country back into tyranny. Their agenda is no different than terrorist forces that have struck all over the world, including in your own country on September 11th." -- Allawi
