Mark,
It's an interesting little experiment that you conducted there. It
appears people will believe anything if it comes from a source that
they trust and it supports their previous conviction.
I think this is the point about how we see the quality in things that
support our current world analogy and tend to overlook the other
stuff.
My view is that there is a lot of stuff that MOQ'ers should agree
with in this speech.
Unfortunately I don't believe a word of it, except for the bit where
he says
"oh, yes, I nearly forgoted, Iran, you're next to be freedomalized!"

GWB ended with this:

beloved cowboy philosophers, Roy Rogers, who said that freedom's just
another word for... nothin' left to lose."

You're joking? Please tell me you're joking. You are joking aren't
you - no-one with an IQ bigger than their shoe size would say
something like that. If you're not joking then the world is in
serious trouble. Oh God! We're doomed! It's been nice knowing you
all.

Well, I was quoting from memory. In checking the transcript, it
reads:
And to the remaining Iraqis, let me warn you with warmth yet great
sincerefullness of the striding words stated by one of America's most
beloved cowboy poets, Roy Rogers, who said to his wife Dale while
riding his horse Trigger--or maybe it was the other way around--
"Honey, never forget, freedom's just another word for... nothin'
left to lose." Let freedom ring, baby, let freedom ring! [Thunderous
applause].
