BUSH DEFENDS DEFENSE SPENDING

Washington (FOX News) - President Bush today went on the offensive defending his budget from critics who have attacked his plan for increased defense spending.
Siting the protracted “War on Terror,” Bush defended the lack of results by blaming the need for more spending. In remarks eerily reminiscent of Democratic claims of the 1960's War on Poverty, Bush declared that the problem was, “complex and challenging,” and would require, “even more money, then more yet.”
Denying that he was simply throwing money at the problem, as Senate Minority Leader Harry Ried has claimed, the President said that he was given all necessary authority to do so when the Senate voted for the USA Act in 2001.
Disputing allegations that the War on Terror and the Occupation of Iraq were in fact two different things Bush said, “Nobody denied that saving South Vietnam and defeating Communism in southeast Asia were two different things back in the ‘70s!”
Referring to a different war the President appealed to the public’s sense of patriotism.

“Criticizing a defense budget was as good as giving medicine and cold drinks to the enemy. Well, not this time, not with this president!”

Democratic Ohio Senator, and alleged former Black Panther, Barack Bin Osama recently declared that, “We invaded France in June of 1944 and Hitler was dead and the Nazi’s were wiped out by April 1945. Instead of going AWOL maybe Bush should have stayed in the Air Force, he might have learned something about prosecuting a war!”

The President continued to attack his critics defending his proposal saying that, “We must defend America against those who would attack us. The defense of America must come at all costs.”
He also claimed that those who attacked his budget were soft on defense and worse.

Bush concluded his comments saying, “I remember one of the proudest expressions of freedom any American could make back in the 1970's and it is just as true today as it was then, ‘America, love it or leave it!’”
