Yahoo! News - Bush Talks About Troop Presence in Iraq:
Remind me again what Osama bin Laden wanted? How do you ask an American soldier to be the last man to die for a for a fundamentalist Islamic government. Fundamentalist Islam is diametrically opposed to democracy. To allow a fundamentalist government to take power we will have condemned Iraqi democracy to death. The only question is how long it woud take.
Elections choosing a fundamentalist government is a very tough question. How it can be resolved I don't know. It may be prudent to signal like this that we will accept anything, but in the meantime we have to make sure that this possibility has no chance.
If free and open Iraqi elections lead to the seating of a fundamentalist Islamic government, 'I will be disappointed. But democracy is democracy,' Bush said. 'If that's what the people choose, that's what the people choose.'
