“What the President is talking about is we are eager to get those accomplishments as quickly as possible, for obvious reasons, so that the Iraqis are in the lead and at some point you are in a position to be able to do these so-called over-the-horizon activities and, at the same time, not create a power vacuum that's going to make it easier for al Qaeda or for terrorists to come in and not only destroy what's going on in Iraq, but also to make it a safe haven for terrorism and a source of a greater danger and instability not only in the Middle East, but throughout the world.”
-White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, June 26, 2007
Over The Horizon
Lyrics (perhaps) by Tony Snow
Somewhere over the horizon
Way far away
There’s an end that I’m sure of
Once Iraqis save the day
Somewhere over the horizon
Skies aren’t blue
And the terrors that we use to scare you
Really could come true
Some day I’ll sit upon a beach
And wake up where the White House is far behind me
Where troubles melt like Democrats
Away above the press room chats
That’s where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the horizon
Danger lies
Danger lies over the horizon
Why, oh why would I lie?
Some day I’ll sit upon a beach
And wake up where the White House is far behind me
Where troubles melt like Democrats
Away above the press room chats
That’s where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the horizon
Danger lies
Danger lies over the horizon
Why, oh why would I lie?
If scary little terrorists lie
Beyond the horizon
Why, oh why would I lie?
