Personally, methinks they should just say they are 'lost'...that would be more honest and truthful!
All I see is egg on faces of those who accused him of having no plan.
For a change of pace, CNN has Maddie Halfbright.
Yes, I did read and own "The Faith of George W. Bush". I loved that one too! Books like these I can consume in a weekend. Now who is next?
Out here on the west coast, it was carried on cable & all the alphabets stations.
Thanks. I will put the link in my favorites.
"Our terrorist enemies have a vision that guides and explains all their varied acts of murder," he said. "Our actions, too, are guided by a vision. We believe that freedom can advance and change lives in the greater Middle East, as it has advanced and changed lives in Asia, and Latin America, and Eastern Europe and Africa."
We won't persevere in Iraq if we don't defeat the 'rats at home, that's for sure! So, both. :-)
Going going. . . gone!
MSNBC is crap.
I don't know, but John just told me there could've been a denial of service attack. Unfortunately, he wasn't home when it started (at almost the exact start of the president's speech). I got him on his cell phone and as soon as he got home he was able to clear the logjam. The servers were running, just hopelessly backlogged.
Well it didn't work with Biden .. he's acting like his hair is on fire .. we are DOOMED if we don't go to NATO
Chrissy is asking Biden why the President would use TV time to explain this to us
Good Lord they are stupid
Thank you very much.
Ya, but that disappoints the dems because its "nothing new"
LOL
Fire the committee of idiots who wrote the SOTU. He should have given this speech in January. I was happy to hear that he made it clear that the Iraqi elections could happen earlier with his approval. If they go off in September and the results are favorable, that will be a real boost for Bush. It will be a tangible sign that there's a light at the end of the table. It was also very good to hear him admit that they made mistakes-- like setting up and leading the Iraqi army, and have put in place a plan to make things right. It's helpful politically to have him acknowledge the problems voters have seen show up and show that he's addressing them.
Memphis, TN - No local affiliates carried it. I don't have cable or satellite.
Unsurprising Biden reaction. Ignore him.
Biden would make a fine speed-bag.
I thought the exact same thing!
