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
