BUSH My fellow citizens ░░░░░░░░ this hour American and ░░░░░░░░ forces are in the ░░░░░░░░ stages of military operations ░░░░░░░░ disarm Iraq to free ░░░░░░░░ people and to defend ░░░░░░░░ world from grave danger ░░░░░░░░ A short time ago ░░░░░░░░ United States military began ░░░░░░░░ combat operations in Iran ░░░░░░░░ The threat comes from ░░░░░░░░ It arises directly from ░░░░░░░░ Iraqi regime s own ░░░░░░░░ its history of aggression ░░░░░░░░ its drive toward an ░░░░░░░░ of terror Trump Its ░░░░░░░░ activities directly endanger the ░░░░░░░░ States our troops our ░░░░░░░░ overseas and our allies ░░░░░░░░ the world This terrorist ░░░░░░░░ can never have a ░░░░░░░░ weapon BUSH Saddam Hussein ░░░░░░░░ a homicidal dictator who ░░░░░░░░ addicted to weapons of ░░░░░░░░ destruction Trump Our objective ░░░░░░░░ to defend the American ░░░░░░░░ by eliminating imminent threats ░░░░░░░░ the Iranian regime a ░░░░░░░░ group of very hard ░░░░░░░░ people BUSH There can ░░░░░░░░ no peace if our ░░░░░░░░ depends on the will ░░░░░░░░ whims of a ruthless ░░░░░░░░ aggressive dictator Trump And ░░░░░░░░ are indeed sick and ░░░░░░░░ BUSH The Iraqi regime ░░░░░░░░ required to destroy its ░░░░░░░░ of mass destruction to ░░░░░░░░ all development of such ░░░░░░░░ and to stop all ░░░░░░░░ for terrorist groups The ░░░░░░░░ regime has violated all ░░░░░░░░ those obligations Trump Following ░░░░░░░░ obliteration of Iran s ░░░░░░░░ program we warned Iran ░░░░░░░░ to make any attempt ░░░░░░░░ rebuild at a different ░░░░░░░░ but they ignored those ░░░░░░░░ and refused to cease ░░░░░░░░ pursuit of nuclear weapons ░░░░░░░░ The evidence indicates that ░░░░░░░░ is reconstituting its nuclear ░░░░░░░░ program Trump We warned ░░░░░░░░ never to resume their ░░░░░░░░ pursuit of nuclear weapons ░░░░░░░░ Satellite photographs reveal that ░░░░░░░░ is rebuilding facilities at ░░░░░░░░ that have been part ░░░░░░░░ its nuclear program in ░░░░░░░░ past Trump We sought ░░░░░░░░ to make a deal ░░░░░░░░ tried They wanted to ░░░░░░░░ it They didn t ░░░░░░░░ to do it Again ░░░░░░░░ wanted to do it ░░░░░░░░ didn t want to ░░░░░░░░ it They didn t ░░░░░░░░ what was happening They ░░░░░░░░ wanted to practice evil ░░░░░░░░ The entire world has ░░░░░░░░ Iraq s 11 year ░░░░░░░░ of defiance deception and ░░░░░░░░ faith Trump For decades ░░░░░░░░ decades they ve rejected ░░░░░░░░ opportunity to renounce their ░░░░░░░░ ambitions and we can ░░░░░░░░ take it anymore BUSH ░░░░░░░░ believe we can address ░░░░░░░░ danger by simply resuming ░░░░░░░░ old approach to inspections ░░░░░░░░ applying diplomatic and economic ░░░░░░░░ yet this is precisely ░░░░░░░░ the world has tried ░░░░░░░░ do since 1991 Trump ░░░░░░░░ 47 years the Iranian ░░░░░░░░ has chanted Death to ░░░░░░░░ and waged an unending ░░░░░░░░ of bloodshed and mass ░░░░░░░░ targeting the United States ░░░░░░░░ troops and the innocent ░░░░░░░░ in many many countries ░░░░░░░░ Iraq possesses ballistic missiles ░░░░░░░░ a likely range of ░░░░░░░░ of miles far enough ░░░░░░░░ strike Saudi Arabia Israel ░░░░░░░░ and other nations Trump ░░░░░░░░ regime s conventional ballistic ░░░░░░░░ program was growing rapidly ░░░░░░░░ dramatically and this posed ░░░░░░░░ very clear colossal threat ░░░░░░░░ America and our forces ░░░░░░░░ overseas BUSH In the ░░░░░░░░ year alone the Iraqi ░░░░░░░░ has fired upon American ░░░░░░░░ British pilots more than ░░░░░░░░ times Trump The regime ░░░░░░░░ had missiles capable of ░░░░░░░░ Europe and our bases ░░░░░░░░ local and overseas and ░░░░░░░░ soon have had missiles ░░░░░░░░ of reaching our beautiful ░░░░░░░░ BUSH Regime change in ░░░░░░░░ is the only certain ░░░░░░░░ of removing a great ░░░░░░░░ to our nation The ░░░░░░░░ of Iraq is a ░░░░░░░░ of Stalin using murder ░░░░░░░░ a tool of terror ░░░░░░░░ control Trump The regime ░░░░░░░░ armed trained and funded ░░░░░░░░ militias that have soaked ░░░░░░░░ earth with blood and ░░░░░░░░ BUSH Saddam Hussein is ░░░░░░░░ terrorists and the instruments ░░░░░░░░ terror Trump We re ░░░░░░░░ that the world s ░░░░░░░░ one sponsor of terror ░░░░░░░░ never obtain a nuclear ░░░░░░░░ BUSH In addition to ░░░░░░░░ and destroying all of ░░░░░░░░ weapons of mass destruction ░░░░░░░░ must end its support ░░░░░░░░ terrorism Trump We re ░░░░░░░░ that the Iranian regime ░░░░░░░░ continue to arm fund ░░░░░░░░ direct terrorist armies outside ░░░░░░░░ their borders BUSH It ░░░░░░░░ given shelter and support ░░░░░░░░ terrorism and practices terror ░░░░░░░░ its own people Trump ░░░░░░░░ is the world s ░░░░░░░░ one state sponsor of ░░░░░░░░ and just recently killed ░░░░░░░░ of thousands of its ░░░░░░░░ citizens on the street ░░░░░░░░ they protested BUSH We ░░░░░░░░ experienced the horror of ░░░░░░░░ the 11th Trump And ░░░░░░░░ was Iran s proxy ░░░░░░░░ that launched the monstrous ░░░░░░░░ 7th attacks on Israel ░░░░░░░░ We have seen that ░░░░░░░░ who hate America are ░░░░░░░░ to crash airplanes into ░░░░░░░░ full of innocent people ░░░░░░░░ Slaughtering more than 1 ░░░░░░░░ innocent people including 46 ░░░░░░░░ while taking 12 of ░░░░░░░░ citizens hostage It was ░░░░░░░░ Something like the world ░░░░░░░░ never seen before BUSH ░░░░░░░░ attacks of September the ░░░░░░░░ showed our country that ░░░░░░░░ oceans no longer protect ░░░░░░░░ from danger Before that ░░░░░░░░ date we had only ░░░░░░░░ about al Qaeda s ░░░░░░░░ and designs Today in ░░░░░░░░ we see a threat ░░░░░░░░ outlines are far more ░░░░░░░░ defined and whose consequences ░░░░░░░░ be far more deadly ░░░░░░░░ An Iranian regime armed ░░░░░░░░ long range missiles and ░░░░░░░░ weapons would be an ░░░░░░░░ threat to the Middle ░░░░░░░░ but also to the ░░░░░░░░ people BUSH The Iraqi ░░░░░░░░ must not be permitted ░░░░░░░░ threaten America and the ░░░░░░░░ with horrible poisons and ░░░░░░░░ and gases and atomic ░░░░░░░░ Trump I ll say ░░░░░░░░ again they can never ░░░░░░░░ a nuclear weapon BUSH ░░░░░░░░ we know Saddam Hussein ░░░░░░░░ dangerous weapons today and ░░░░░░░░ do does it make ░░░░░░░░ sense for the world ░░░░░░░░ wait to confront him ░░░░░░░░ he grows even stronger ░░░░░░░░ develops even more dangerous ░░░░░░░░ Trump This was our ░░░░░░░░ best chance to strike ░░░░░░░░ we re doing right ░░░░░░░░ and eliminate the intolerable ░░░░░░░░ posed by this sick ░░░░░░░░ sinister regime BUSH Now ░░░░░░░░ before we will secure ░░░░░░░░ nation protect our freedom ░░░░░░░░ help others to find ░░░░░░░░ of their own Trump ░░░░░░░░ the great proud people ░░░░░░░░ Iran I say tonight ░░░░░░░░ the hour of your ░░░░░░░░ is at hand BUSH ░░░░░░░░ lives of Iraqi citizens ░░░░░░░░ improve dramatically if Saddam ░░░░░░░░ were no longer in ░░░░░░░░ Trump When we are ░░░░░░░░ take over your government ░░░░░░░░ will be yours to ░░░░░░░░ This will be probably ░░░░░░░░ only chance for generations ░░░░░░░░ America is a friend ░░░░░░░░ the people of Iraq ░░░░░░░░ America is backing you ░░░░░░░░ overwhelming strength and devastating ░░░░░░░░ BUSH America believes that ░░░░░░░░ people are entitled to ░░░░░░░░ and human rights People ░░░░░░░░ prefer freedom to slavery ░░░░░░░░ to squalor self government ░░░░░░░░ the rule of terror ░░░░░░░░ torture Trump Now is ░░░░░░░░ time to seize control ░░░░░░░░ your destiny and to ░░░░░░░░ the prosperous and glorious ░░░░░░░░ that is close within ░░░░░░░░ reach BUSH Our demands ░░░░░░░░ directed only at the ░░░░░░░░ that enslaves them When ░░░░░░░░ demands are met the ░░░░░░░░ and greatest benefit will ░░░░░░░░ to Iraqi men women ░░░░░░░░ children Trump This is ░░░░░░░░ moment for action Do ░░░░░░░░ let it pass.”
