State of the world: North Korea, God, Osama, the Axis of Evil, the White House, and other dubious sources of information

From George W. Bush's State of the Union address, January 29, 2002

Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America or our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction. Some of these regimes have been pretty quiet since September the 11th. But we know their true nature. North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction, while starving its citizens.
Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom.
Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and nuclear weapons for over a decade. This is a regime that has already used poison gas to murder thousands of its own citizens -- leaving the bodies of mothers huddled over their dead children. This is a regime that agreed to international inspections -- then kicked out the inspectors. This is a regime that has something to hide from the civilized world.
States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic.
We will work closely with our coalition to deny terrorists and their state sponsors the materials, technology, and expertise to make and deliver weapons of mass destruction. We will develop and deploy effective missile defenses to protect America and our allies from sudden attack. (Applause.) And all nations should know: America will do what is necessary to ensure our nation's security.
We'll be deliberate, yet time is not on our side. I will not wait on events, while dangers gather. I will not stand by, as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons. (Applause.)

From remarks by John Bolton, Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, 7/21/04

We live in a safer world today than we did a year ago. There are still regimes that support terrorism, but there are fewer today than before.
More than 40 nations are working together to ensure that Afghanistan no longer provides safe harbor to al Qaeda terrorists.
In Iraq, the coalition worked together to ensure as smooth a transfer of power as possible to the people of Iraq.
After years of isolation, the Libyan leader Colonel Qhadadfi came to the conclusion that his pursuit of weapons of mass destruction made his country and his regime not more, but less secure.
Sadly, North Korea has not made the strategic choice to move away from the destructive legacies of the past and place his people first.
The paths of North Korea and Libya have diverged -- Colonel Qhadadfi has made a strategic choice to put his people before his unjustified fears of a U.S. invasion. Kim Jong Il has not.

I just did a search on WhiteHouse.gov and turned up the following: in a search for the following keywords over the past five years, the only keyword that turned up fewer mentions in speeches and briefings than Osama Bin Laden (482 times in five years, last mentioned in mid-August in a 'Global Message' on the war on terror simply as being 'on the run') was John Kerry - 268 times. Even bad press is press, I suppose. So here goes:

John Kerry 268
Osama Bin Laden 482
Saddam Hussein 1532
God 1550
Al Qaeda 1886
North Korea 2222
Iraq 3727

I know this doesn't mean anything, since their search engine sucks like mad, but I'm amused that God (an uninvolved party at best, otherwise a mythological character) beat out Bin Laden, Hussein, and Kerry. Not a whole lot of mentions of Kim Jong-il. Less than Kerry, even...
