Bush speech word analysis

Listening to President Bush's speech last night, I thought it might be interesting to do a little word analysis. Using the NY Times transcript and Word's find/replace feature, I compiled a list of the number of times Bush used the following words, which I think says it all. Could this speech be any more misleading about the true situation in Iraq?

• al Qaeda: 12
• free/freedom: 12
• terrorists: 9
• success/succeed: 10
• fail/failure/failed: 1
• Sunni: 6
• Shi'a: 1
• Iran: 5
• democracy: 3
• insurgency: 1
• Sept. 11, 2001: 1
• civil war: 0
