When he suggests that 3K of our "fellow citizens" lost their lives, I am sure he is hoping that you don't realize it wasn't just American Citizens that were killed on that day. Sure he could argue that he was talking about the global "we," but I am sure he wasn't thinking that when he was speaking these words.
And so they continued to wage those attacks eventually striking us here at home on 9/11, killing 3,000 of our fellow citizens. Now they're making a stand in Iraq -- testing our resolve, trying to shake our commitment to democracy in that country. If the terrorists were to succeed, they would return Iraq to the rule of tyrants, make it a source of instability in the Middle East, and use it as a staging base for ever greater attacks against America and other civilized nations. The only way to lose this fight is to quit -- and quitting is not an option. That's not going to happen on our watch. (Applause.)But the fact that Nine Eleven did happen on your watch doesn't give you permission to glad hand that monkey every time your poll numbers slip and you want to use these victims as political pawns to leverage your agenda.
Stop it, Mr. Big Dick "Shooter" Cheney. Stop it W, Rove and Co. The American people grow weary of your brand of false patriotism.

Make Iraq "a source of instability"? Hmmm. Geez, Dick, I think you've already done that.
Oh, just five minutes in a room with Cheney... just five minutes...
