Gives an all new meaning to the concept of "triangulation" doesn't it?

If the Dims would just get over their obsession with how stupid President Bush is they might just start thinking about how to beat him.

Meantime, I think he mispronounces nuclear just to keep them from figuring out that he's really brilliant.

Shalom.

McCain has remnants from being a POW in his head. It dictates all his moves. But he's only thinking about his experience....and he survived. But he only survived because "WE WON!!" He forgot HOW you win a war.

That is a spin of what the president essentially said which was "quit moving the goal posts you idiots."

He also told the Dems to come up with language for Rules Of Engagement if they're going to flap their gums complaining about him.

He's calling on them to protect the military from later prosecution or show their hands now as military haters!

"It's all legal mumbo jumbo. Nothing about the war."

Wrong, guy, it's about informing the public of the IMPORTANCE of what is going on in this war. It is about putting the LIE to the left and their mealy mouthed whining about how we "infringe" on the rights of the savages. It is about putting the LIE to the loony lefts claim that we can fight the war on terror using normal law enforcement procedures and trying the filth in civil courts. It is about throwing down the gauntlet to a Congress that is far more interested in playing all sides against the middle and tossing the security of the nation in the sewer in the interest of getting re elected. It's ALL about the war.

Hello,

I believe that intercepting the legal maneuvers of the antiwar activist is a part of this war. I also believe that the "antiwar activists" are not really antiwar. They are anti-American. There is a big difference. But, this is not all legal maneuvers, the political component of this announcement is huge.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

2. The Supreme Court has made a decision which has painted us into a corner regarding Military Tribunals. The based this decision on a Geneva Convention Article which is vague and could be interpreted many different ways.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Intelligence value that comes from interrogation notwithstanding, there's immense PR value in bringing terrorists to justice. That has a positive influence in events all its own, and in an arena that we've not been particularly good at.

We need to publicly bring terrorists to justice. Not in a glitzy media circus, but in a solemn tribunal. I'm glad to see that we're finally putting these guys down Nuremburg style.

Well said. :-) I imagine Mr. Bolten and friends will be fielding a few extra phone calls from Pubbies begging the POTUS to do a fundraiser for them.

Republican Congress critters had better move quickly on this legislation and not say they're putting it off until after the election.

It's about darned time that Republicans step up to the plate.

Matthews is saying the president is asking for "torture" limits from congress... when did he say that??

He didn't ... He said that he has never ordered or condone torture ... he also said he wanted a list from congress what they thought was acceptable under the war act

Chrissy only listen to the part he wanted to listen to

Good grief. I checked in at DU. Their take on the speech....The Dufus is talking about 9/11 invoking fear. The topic of the entire speech was over their heads due to pure hate.

FEAR to me is having the 'RATs in control of the Presidency, House and/or Senate again...

Well if you see it that way there is not much I can do to change your mind. Go enjoy the disappointment.
