GB II, Poet

They want to kill and create chaos.
That's the nature of a terrorist, that's what terrorists do.
They commit suicide acts against innocent people and then
expect people to say, well, gosh, we better — better not try to fight you anymore.
But I will tell you, I would assume that they're
either, or, and probably both Baathists and foreign terrorists.
You ought to look at my speech.
And so, as I said yesterday, we will not be — I said today again,
I believe we can reach a proper accord
to protect the integrity of the daily brief process
I think you ought to look at my speech.
Not every action requires military action.
Resolutions were passed — not one, two or three, but a lot.
Look at my speech.
She's an unsticker.
I hope not. That's what the terrorists want. They want countries to say,
oh, gosh, well, we better not send anybody there because somebody might get hurt.
That's precisely what they're trying to do.
That’s what terrorists do.
They commit suicide acts.
And this country will stay the course.
We'll do our job.
And it's to our interest that we do our job.
Well, I think the American people are patient during an election year,
because they tend to be able to differentiate between politics and reality.
That’s what they do.
As a matter of fact, the American people are —
the electorate is a heck of a lot smarter than most politicians.
She’s an unsticker.
What terrorists do. I said today again,
he's disguised a weapons program, he had ambitions.
Casus belli, it means a — that would have been a cause for a war.
It’s to our interest that we do our job.
That’s what terrorists do. I think you ought to look at my speech.

It struck me early this morning that GB II was something of a language poet. This is based, I’ll admit, on a very limited experience of language poets, and may not be fair to them or our Fearless Leader.

In any event, this poem is taken verbatim (with some slight editing) from GB’s press conference yesterday morning. Source: US Newswire.
