Part 1: Intro
- Hi, what’s up?
- Despite what you’ve heard, things are lookin’ good.
- Sure, there are challenges. Duh. We’re at war.
- America is strong. America is good. America will win. Freedom. Liberty. Strength, happiness, hearts, flowers, marching bands, flags, valuable coupons.

Part 2: Progress in Iraq
- We’re building all kinds of things [note: true, yes? What?]

- Democracy is comin’. Bad guys on the run.
- Wasn’t it amazing how fast we took those guys out?
- Saddam’s in custody. Saddam = terror. Saddam = weapons. [Note: Stay away from torture and rape room stuff.]

Part 3: Challenges in Iraq
- Sure, some of our guys have died. Are you saying they died in vain!? Are you, punk?
- Resistance: Small minority, not representative of Iraqi people.
- Prisoner abuse: Small minority, not representative of American people.
- Outrage at abuse: Small minority, not representative of Arabs/Europeans/etc.

- That old sarin shell: Tip of the iceberg. Representative of vast weapons cache.

Part 4: Coherent, Detailed Plan of Action
- We have a coherent, detailed plan of action.
- June 30th! Big day. Brown people can govern!
- Great “transfer of power” plan [classified, but trust me, it’s great]
- Great “defeat the insurgency” plan [also classified, of course, but super-great]
- Great “win back hearts and minds” plan [classified, great, something about liberty]
- Great “bring the boys home” plan [classified, wouldn’t want to tip hand, but totally great]

- [Note: Rummy, I’m sure they’re great, but can I see these plans at some point? I promise I won’t tell.]

Part 5: Conclusion
- Oil prices: The Saudis announced they’re makin’ more a few minutes ago. Great coincidence! Good news! Rock on.
- Naysayers: Bringing us down.
- Freedom, liberty, justice, best country in the world, bring ‘em on, mission accomplished, god bless.
