Five years ago today, ‘Bring ‘em on.’


Remember this statement?


Thinkprogress:


Editor and Publisher notes that today is the five year anniversary of ‘bring ‘em on,’ the infamous statement President Bush made during the early stages of the Iraq war. Bush made the remark after being asked about increasing violence in Iraq:

Q: [W]ith the attacks on U.S. forces and the casualty rates rising, what is the administration doing to get larger powers, like France and Germany and Russia, to join the American occupation there? […]

BUSH: Let me finish. There are some who feel like — that the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring ‘em on. We’ve got the force necessary to deal with the security situation.
