Bush: "We went to war because we were attacked"

This and other lies may be found in this week's presidential radio address.
Notice also that he renames the unpopular CAFTA to "the Central American Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement."

Bush closes, "We will settle for nothing less than victory."
Okay, what are the victory conditions?

Rumsfeld answered this question at the beginning of the war on terror:
"That's a good question, as to what constitutes victory," Rumsfeld replied. "Now, what is victory? I say that victory is persuading the American people and the rest of the world that this is not a quick matter that's going to be over in a month or a year or even five years. It is something that we need to do so that we can continue to live in a world with powerful weapons and with people who are willing to use those powerful weapons. And we can do that as a country. And that would be a victory, in my view."
Translation: "Victory" means convincing us that war in perpetuity is the norm.
