Last week, on Friday, March 26, 2004, while in Albuquerque, Bush made a speech in which he said, "I made a choice to defend the security of the country. You can't see what you think is a threat and hope it goes away. You used to could when the oceans protected us. But the lesson of September the 11th is, is when the president sees a threat we must deal with it before it comes to fruition, through death, on our own soils, for example."

Please send interpretations of the above quote to this reporter who often doesn't understand the president when he refers to 9/11. Is he saying he headed off ”...death, on our own soils?.." by attacking Iraq, the country next to the country of the 9/11 hijackers ?

What is he really saying? Anyone?
