I was reading some quotes in the newspaper this weekend, and some of them seemed glaringly incomplete, so I thought I’d help out a bit.

Referring the Iraq Constitutional vote this past weekend, President Bush said “We have stood by the Iraqi people through two elections, and we will stand by them until they have established a free nation that can govern itself, sustain itself, and defend itself.” He then added, “Whether they want it or not.”

U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Sam Smithson commented, “I hope they have a really big turnout. The closer they get to independence, the closer we get to going home.” To which President Bush added, “Yep, so we can get to the next nation on my list. Let’s get moving people! These countries aren’t invading themselves.”
