"Now is the time, and Iraq is the place, in which the enemies of the civilized world are testing the will of the civilized world. We must not waver."
"Over the last several decades, we've seen that any concession or retreat on our part will only embolden this enemy and invite more bloodshed. And the enemy has seen, over the last 31 months, that we will no longer live in denial or seek to appease them."

Apparently, at least in Velvet Coulter's eyes, Bush is a liberal Democrat for whom history has begun anew today, so he has forgotten what happened yesterday.
It's hardly a surprise. I'm old enough to remember when Bush thought nation-building was bad, fiscal prudence was good, and the government couldn't be trusted to run a candy store, let alone transform the Middle East.
