WASHINGTON — Democrats are blasting President Bush for giving what they call a political prime-time speech on the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

[The Blitherer]

The President's speech was indeed one of his best in my opinion.

I agree. He hit every single point with clarity and emphasis. The fact that the Dems are whining this morning only proves how good his speech really was.

5 years ago yesterday the passengers on flight 93 said "Lets Roll"

5 years from 911 the Democrats are stating "Lets Roll Over"

[Lakeshark]

He obviously needs to be impeached for this.............

*rolling eyes*

[HighWheeler]

great post.

[djstex]

Yes, and it was more than appropriate for him to make his positions on the War,in particular in Iraq.

And of course Democrats would never stoop so low to politicize a natural disaster like Hurricane Katrina.

[AmishDude]

Why are they complaining? I mean if he engineered it, according to the moonbats, then he should at least reap the benefits.

[Sunshine Sister]

Thank you for posting the Gettysburg Address. It is appropriate even today.

[sappy]

ha ha. that sounds about right. Except, their menu options never change. Same whine, same cry, same crap everyday.

It wasn't a political speech at all - unless the Democrats have become a party of retreat, defeat and appeasement, opposed to fighting the war on terror.

Not fair!

[polymuser]

Well, let's dig up FDR's 1944 campaign speeches and see if he politicized Pearl Harbor, shall we?

[Hilltop]

Can't this so called national party do something besides lie, whine, bitch and moan?

Just damn.

"... in your wildest psychosis ...."

Hmmm, let me think - my wildest psychosis - heck, that covers a lot of area......

[wouldntbprudent]

What Clymers!

[Verginius Rufus]

I thought it was a great speech. I was surprised when the first comment Charles Krauthammer had during Brit Hume's post-speech discussion was that it was "political." I think Krauthammer is a Democrat, just strong on national security and certain other issues.

Why won't Bush bring up Salman Pak in his speeches? This training facility in Iraq was clearly used to train terrorists in suicide attacks, kidnappings, and bus, train and airplane hijackings. This interview from the liberal's beloved PBS clearly shows that muslims other than Iraqis were being trained in terrorism at Salman Pak.

[dfwgator]

And of course, Bill Clinton never politicized Columbine or Oklahoma City.

I just love it when politicians accuse other politicians of playing politics. Don't they know how stupid that sounds?

Apparently not.
