poor poor yields, foaming at mouth with make it up libel lookie lookie at the viens popping out of your forehead. my my all that steam, you make mount St Helens look peaceful by comparision. ROTFLOL at your silly childishness. This is to cheer you up... LOL My opponent has also announced the Kerry doctrine, declaring that American actions in the war on terror must pass a "global test." AUDIENCE: Booo! THE PRESIDENT: Under this test, America would not be able to act quickly against threats, because we'd be sitting around waiting for our grade from other nations and other leaders. (Laughter.) I have a different view: America will always work with allies for security and peace. But the President's job is not to pass a global test; the President's job is to protect the American people. (Applause.) Thank you all. When my opponent first ran for Congress, he argued that American troops should be deployed only at the directive of the United Nations. AUDIENCE: Booo! THE PRESIDENT: Now, he's changed his mind. (Laughter.) No, he has, in all fairness. But it is a window into his thinking. Over the years, Senator Kerry has looked for every excuse to constrain America's action in the world. These days he praises America's broad coalition in the Persian Gulf War. But in 1991, he criticized those coalition members as "shadow battlefield allies who barely carry a burden." Sounds familiar. At that time, he voted against the war. If that coalition didn't pass his global test, clearly, nothing will. (Laughter and applause.) This mind-set would paralyze America in a dangerous world. I'll never hand over America's security decisions to foreign leaders and international bodies that do not have America's interests at heart. (Applause.) My opponent's doctrine has other consequences, especially for our men and women in uniform. My opponent supports the International Criminal Court, which would allow unaccountable foreign prosecutors and judges to put American soldiers on trial. AUDIENCE: Booo! THE PRESIDENT: That would be a legal nightmare for our troops. My fellow citizens, as long as I'm your President, Americans in uniform will answer to the officers and laws of the United States -- not to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more years! georgebush.com
