Press Briefing 05/30/06
— Tuesday, May 30, 2006 — Q So why is the killing going on? MR. SNOW: Because it's a war, and unfortunately, that's what happens in wars. If there were some -- if there were some way -- Q Why does he think we're going to win? MR. SNOW: Because -- a couple of things. The President has faith in the power of freedom, not only as an idea, but also as a guiding principle. He also has faith in the men and women who are doing the fighting. Anybody who saw the speech that he gave yesterday at Arlington understands that he not only has faith, but a deep respect and admiration. He gets choked up every time he talks about it, because these are young men and women -- like the group at West Point -- these are all people who decided that they would go to the U.S. Military Academy after September 11th, 2001, knowing that it would be a time of war, possible peril to them, and they did it. Q But Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. MR. SNOW: Are we going to just hopscotch across these? I mean, the point here, Helen, is real simple. Q You're making points that -- MR. SNOW: I'm not making points about -- Q We all know they're serving with great faith. The problem is, this killing goes on for three years and the President still cannot give a basic reason why we're there. MR. SNOW: Yes, he can, and he's made it many times.
