Repeat after me...

As reported byCBS News but widely reported elsewhere
Instead, the president answers his own question: Was the war on Iraq the right thing to do?

In answering this, Mr. Bush uses another trick of modern rhetoric: repeat your sound bite in hopes that it hypnotizes the audience into acceptance. In this case, the mantra is, “the American people are safer.” It is repeated seven times in the speech.
Keep your eyes on the pretty watch... You're getting sleepy... I'm going to count to three... The American people are safer... Vote for me, I'll set you free...
