Bush: Terrorists Won't Rule Iraq's Future

[maddezmom]

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - President Bush (news - web sites), appearing before cheering U.S. forces Tuesday, declared that terrorists won't be able to control Iraq (news - web sites)'s destiny because "free people will never choose their own enslavement."

Bush said that as election day there approaches Jan. 30, "we can expect further violence" but also said that the balloting must go forward.


A large crowd of Marines clad in tan-and-green camouflage uniforms bellowed "oo-rah," as Bush, who donned a tan military-style jacket with epaulets, thanked U.S. forces. He said the bravery and sacrifice of the troops has made America safer.


"You see, the terrorists understand what is at stake," the president said. "They know they have no future in a free Iraq."


"They (terrorists/insurgents) know democracy will give Iraqis a stake in the future of their country," Bush said. "When Iraqis choose their leader in free elections, it will destroy the myth that the terrorists are fighting a foreign occupation and make clear that what the terrorists really are fighting is the will of the Iraqi people."
