There are several themes of this drumbeat that I would like to address this morning. The first theme we hear over and over and over again is the theme of faulty intelligence. How could the President have been so stupid as to have acted on faulty intelligence? Occasionally, the enthusiasm for this theme gets carried away to levels that are inappropriate, as we have the accusation that the President was not just misled by faulty intelligence, he deliberately lied. We hear this again and again, particularly in the media: The President is a liar; he deliberately misled the country.

Bennett could have also used the following...

There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction...JFK

But that might have been, insensitive.

GEN Wesley Clark, the commander of NATO, was demanding targets: I need more targets. I'm running out of targets. And under the pressure of those demands from that commanding general, the CIA came up with targets, and they came up with an old target with bad information, under the pressure from a commander who was anxious to keep bombing even though he had run out of legitimate targets.

What a warmonger! ;-)

I saw this, Bennett was excellent.

They attempt to put the President and this administration in a no-win situation. No matter what the President does, he is attacked by the people on the other side of the aisle.

I think they are overplaying their hand with this. It is going to be easy to pick apart the multitude of statements the Dims are making without providing one alternative.

As Jacky Gleason was wont to say, "How sweet it is!".

[CanisMajor2002]

The fact that you read this stuff scares me slightly.

But great job nonetheless! :)

[ZULU]

Great speech, replete with intelligence and logic. I'm sure the Democrats will be unable to grasp it.

[Paulus Invictus]

Well, we have one good conservative Senator from Utah and his name is Bennett. The other one, best left un-named, is a problem for many of us due to his stance on legalizing illegals.

Those who value history should read all of history before they stand on the Senate floor and attack the President of the United States for a doctrine that they say is repugnant

WOHOOOO!!! .. He NAILED not only Kennedy but all the Dems that have be screaming about Bush

This one is going out in email

This is the best response I have seen so far, to the naysayers. WTG Senator Bennet

Great speech, replete with intelligence and logic. I'm sure the Democrats will be unable to grasp it.

For any Democrat lurkers, let me interpret: he called you a**holes.,
