Bless his heart. He's a good man. This speech didn't help as much as it should have. No fire in the belly. I know it's there, but he didn't show it.
We will see,Nov. 7th;)
It's only the first one of a series.
It is suppose to be a "Here is the plan " for those who haven't been listening!
I believe the election is November 2nd.
My birthday is on the 7th...
I do this for a living...and you don't lay out a five-point plan as clearly as the President did by spitting fire.
It's not the time or place.
Thanks,I would have been late.
I thought it was a great speech. Too bad the abc, cbs, pbs, and fox did not carry it. Our local nbc station carried it live.
I thought President Bush was honest and sincere. He was determined and compassionate.
Well, okay. But the Prexy better hurry it up. I don't want Mr. Bush to lose.
I agree, that is exactly what I just said to my wife..
is there a separate thread to discuss the speech? i came here after the speech was over and can't find a thing
When I was listening to his speech, only one word came to me - ENDGAME. The clock is now ticking and there's only 1 month to an orderly, precise and promised handover. No retreats, no panic, no shame. It may be tough at times says the coach but we've got to keep the eye on the ball and watch the clock. Very well done speech. It gives a great deal of reassurance to many different intended audiences that the coalition has a plan and they intend to keep it.
Goodbye Vietnam. Hello Iraq.
(is there a separate thread to discuss the speech? i came here after the speech was over and can't find a thing)
I have been looking and could not find one either.
The President's detractors have been pushing him to abandon the June 30th deadline so they can say "aha! he has broken his promise to the Iraqis! We are going to be occupying Iraq forever!" Thank goodness he did not fall for it. One of these days peple are going to figure out that this guy actually means what he says. I guess that has been difficult after 8 years of Clinton dissembling.
See the link at #16.
Thread is up near 1000 posts already.
Pukin Dog on the LIVE thread says this FULL SOVEREIGNTY is a surprise to the UN, French , Germans and JOHN KERRY> cuts the possible graft out of the deal like was seen in the Oil for Food program run by the UN!
Why do we need dramatics? Fire in the belly? He gave us what everyone has been asking for. A PLAN, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. George W. Bush is not an actor portraying a President. HE IS the President and he IS good at what he now does. Lip biting, the feeling of other's pain, eye rolling, all that Liberal bullshit we were subjected to for 8 years is over, OVER. We are now dealing with a President who knows who the hell he is! What he want to accomplish! How he intends to end this war. How he will keep us safe!
He is level headed. He understands business, the dummy has a MBA! He understands ecomonics! The economy is recovered!
Fire in the Belly??? Who do you want to listen to with fire in the belly? The only one I can conjure up is Al Sharpton.
