Reddhedd at Firedoglake: ...Not As I Do

George Bush, Press Conference, October 11, 2001:

PRESIDENT BUSH: Of course. But our ability to affect host nations harboring terrorists will depend upon our determination, our will, our patience. We are sending a signal to the world as we speak that if you harbor a terrorist, there will be a price to pay. (emphasis mine)

And just so no one gets the idea that I'm playing gotcha with a single snippet, here's the Preznit a few years later, along the same theme, this time addressing the United Nations General Assembly, September 24, 2004:

Eventually, there is no safe isolation from terror networks, or failed states that shelter them, or outlaw regimes, or weapons of mass destruction. Eventually, there is no safety in looking away, seeking the quiet life by ignoring the struggles and oppression of others. (emphasis mine)

So, the President has made it quite clear that he considers nations which harbor terrorists to be "outlaws," in these statements and many, many others. I think that's a fair statement, don't you?
