Therapy Won't Work
This repeat offense features Dubya goading anyone who would question his approach to handling terrorists. In Dubya's universe, the antithesis of his approach would be to offer the terrorists (and in one instance, Saddam Hussein) therapy. I can't help but suspect that this bizarre concept is meant to imply something about the Democratic Party. Enjoy the show.

1. They probably thought that we were so selfish and self-absorbed and materialistic that after they hit us, we would try to understand them — take a step back, and maybe get them some therapy. As we've seen this weekend, as we see in the past, there's only one therapy, and that's to bring them to justice, which is exactly what the United States is going to do. (Oct. 14, 2002)
2. See, there's a huge difference between us and them. We value life, we say everybody counts, everybody is precious. They've hijacked a great religion and are willing to murder in the name of that religion. That's the way they are. And there's only one way to deal with it. Therapy isn't going to work. And that's to find them, that's to find them. (Oct. 17, 2002)
3. I know the enemy, and therapy isn't going to work. (Oct. 18, 2002)
4. And that's why the best way to protect the American homeland is not to hope these fellows change their mind, not to hope that they go get therapy to make them think different, but it's to hunt them down, one by one, and bring them to justice, what America is going to do. (Oct. 18, 2002)
5. My most important job is to protect American life, to protect innocent life. I mention that, because you've got to know something about these people we fight. Unlike us, they don't value life. See, we think every life is precious, everybody counts, everybody matters. We face an enemy which has hijacked a great religion and are nothing but a bunch of cold-blooded killers. And therapy won't work. (Oct. 22, 2002)
6. See, we're on alert. We understand the realities. We remember and we're not forgetting what took place. We saw what happened in Indonesia. We understand the people we're dealing with. There's no therapy, by the way, that can heal these people. These are cold-blooded killers. That's all they are. (Oct. 24, 2002)
7. It's a different kind of war. In the old days, you could count the number of tanks destroyed or ships that were sunk or airplanes shot out of the air and you say you're making progress. This is a war where the leaders hide in a cave, or they kind of hide in a dark corner of one of these cities around the world and then they send youngsters to there suicidal deaths. They don't care about innocent life. They're cold-blooded killers. And, therefore, the best thing for us to do is to get them on the run, to hunt them down and to bring them to justice, which is exactly what is happening. I want you to know that therapy isn't going to work. (Oct. 24, 2002)
8. It is important for our countrymen to understand, therapy won't work. And that's why we put together this coalition of freedom loving countries, to disrupt them, to cut off their money, to put the spotlight on them in these caves. (Oct. 31, 2002)
9. DUBYA: But the best way to protect you is to hunt these killers down, one at a time, and bring them to justice.
   AUDIENCE: USA! USA! USA!
   DUBYA: Therapy won't work. (Nov. 2, 2002)
10. And the best way to protect the American people is to chase these killers down one at a time and bring them to justice, which is what we're going to do. Therapy isn't going to work on them. (Nov. 2, 2002)
11. But the best way to secure our homeland, the best way to make sure you're safe, the best way to make sure one of the first high school graduating classes ever to have the battleground here at home, to make sure that battleground is safe is to hunt these killers down one person at a time and bring them to justice. That's what we have to do. See, therapy isn't going to work. That's not going to convince them. The only way to convince them is to keep that large coalition of freedom country — freedom-loving countries intact. And, by the way, the doctrine still stands: either you're with us or you're with the enemy. (Nov. 2, 2002)
12. But the best way to secure the homeland is to chase these killers down, one at a time, and bring them to justice. And therapy won't work. (Nov. 3, 2002)
13. Not only do I want you to remember September the 11th, but I want you to think about Indonesia, and the attack on our Marines in Kuwait, the attack on a French freighter. I mean, they're out there. And the only way to deal with them — and by the way, I've come to the conclusion, and I hope you have, that therapy is not going to work. (Nov. 4, 2002)
14. We're having an honest debate in this country, and we should, about peace and how to achieve the peace. It should be clear to you now, though, that in my judgment you don't contain Saddam Hussein. You don't hope that therapy will somehow change his evil mind — that you deal with Saddam Hussein. I hope we can do this peacefully. (Jan. 29, 2003)
15. We owe it to the peace and security of the world to use our strength to find the killers. Therapy will not work with these kind of people. Treaties make no sense. (Sep. 12, 2003)
16. The two years from September 11th — we got hit, we got hit by people who cannot stand what America believes in. We love freedom. And we're not going to change. And they probably won't either. Therapy won't work with this bunch. (Sep. 15, 2003)
17. These committed killers will not be stopped by negotiations, they won't respond to therapy, or to reason. (Oct. 9, 2003)
18. These people are nothing but cold-blooded killers. They've hijacked a great religion. They'll kill innocent women and children and men. They care not who they kill. They try to create fear and intimidation. Therapy won't work with these people. (Oct. 9, 2003)
19. And we now see the nature of the enemy very clearly. These people are terrorists, cold-blooded killers. They plot in secret, they target the innocent, they defile a great religion and they hate everything America stands for. They're not going to be stopped by negotiations. They won't be appeased. Therapy is not going to work on them. (Oct. 15, 2003)
20. We must never forget the lessons of September the 11th, 2001. We must understand we have a duty and responsibility to provide security for the people of this country. Therapy is not going to work with that bunch. (Nov. 1, 2003)
21. See, that's what September the 11th taught us, that we must be diligent and active. We can't hope terrorists will change their attitudes. I like to remind people that therapy is not going to work with this bunch. (Nov. 3, 2003)
22. The terrorists are offended not merely by our policies. They are offended by our existence as free nations. No concession will appease their malice. No accommodation will satisfy their endless demands. No course of therapy will cure them of their hatred. (Mar. 20, 2004)
23. And, therefore, it's very important for the United States to stay on the offense against these people. You can't negotiate with them. Therapy will not work. (Jun. 17, 2004)
24. You can't reason with these people. There's no need to negotiate with them. Therapy is not going to work. (Jun. 18, 2004)
25. Let me tell you a couple of lessons I learned from September the 11th. We face an enemy which has hijacked a religion. They're not religious people. They've hijacked a religion. Secondly, therapy is not going to work with them. (Jul. 9, 2004)
26. My biggest job is to make sure America remains a safe place. That's the most important responsibility I have as your President. And it's a task at hand because we face an enemy which has a dim view of the world, and it's an enemy which hates America because of our love for freedom. These are people that you just cannot reason with. You can't negotiate with them. Therapy is not going to work with them. (Jul. 14, 2004)
27. Our immediate task around the world and in Iraq and Afghanistan is to bring those terrorists to justice. See, you can't talk sense to them. You can't negotiate with terrorists. You can't sit back and hope that somehow therapy will work and they will change their ways. That's just not the way it is. (Jul. 14, 2004)
28. See, with these people — remember, I described what they're like — you cannot negotiate with them, you cannot hope for the best. I like to say, therapy doesn't work. (Aug. 5, 2004)
29. You cannot negotiate with these people. You cannot hope for the best when it comes to these people. Therapy is not going to work. (Aug. 17, 2004)
30. These are ruthless people. You cannot negotiate with them, you can't hope that their ambitions go away, you can't try to — you know, therapy won't work. The only thing that matters is to bring them to justice. (Sep. 21, 2006)
31. You can't negotiate with these people. Therapy is not going to work. The best way to deal with this enemy is to bring them to justice before they hurt the American people again. (Oct. 2, 2006)
32. I appreciate the fact we've got members of Congress who clearly see the enemy for what they are. You can't negotiate with these people. You cannot hope that they will go away. I like to remind people, therapy isn't going to work. The best way to deal with these folks is to bring them to justice before they hurt America again. (Oct. 3, 2006)
33. There is — these are cold-blooded killers. You cannot negotiate with them. You cannot hope for the best. Therapy won't work. The best way to protect you is to defeat them overseas so we do not have to face them here at home. (Nov. 6, 2006)
