Depraving the word "Freedom"

This morning, I came across something that left my head want to explode. In a press conference with the French President, Bush gave one of his biggest lies in the 21st century. I know we are still in the beginning of this century, but I really believe that he is one of the most eloquent liars the world would ever witness. He was asked about Iraq by a reporter and his answer was like this:

Q: Thank you, Mr. President. My question is on Iraq. Mr. President, this morning you talked at length about Afghanistan, Iran, but not Iraq. And I wanted to ask both of you, is France reconciled with the United States, the United States is reconciled with France? So what about Iraq? Can France, for instance, help to get out of the Iraqi quagmire? And President Bush, where do you stand on Iraq and your domestic debate on Iraq? Do you have a timetable for withdrawing troops?

BUSH: I don’t — you know, “quagmire” is an interesting word. If you lived in Iraq and had lived under a tyranny, you’d be saying, God, I love freedom — because that’s what’s happened. And there are killers and radicals and murderers who kill the innocent to stop the advance of freedom. But freedom is happening in Iraq. And we’re making progress.

What "freedom" he was talking about? Invading a country, abusing its people, bringing terrorists to its land and causing massive immigrations and murders is freedom? This man has even depraved the word and made every freedom-lover hates it because of his comments. We hated tyranny, yes. But what came after was worse and cannot be called “freedom.”

I wonder if the refugees I mentioned in my previous post are saying “God, I love freedom!!”
