Great speeches by both the President and Donald Rumsfeld.
One of the things I have noticed is that Rummie, the last two times he has introduced the President, has spoken about his courage and his perseverance.
I got the feeling today that the ention of courage had to do with personal and not political courage. I would encourage everyone to include an extra prayer for President Bush tonight.
THE PRESIDENT: Today the United Nations Security Council passed a unanimous resolution, sending a clear message to the leader of North Korea regarding his weapons programs. This action by the United Nations, which was swift and tough, says that we are united in our determination to see to it that the Korea Peninsula is nuclear weapons free.
I have said all along there is a better way forward for North Korea. There's a better way forward for the people of North Korea. If the leader of North Korea were to verifiably end his weapons programs, the United States and other nations would be willing to help the nation recover economically.
The message today, however, says to the leader of North Korea that the world is united in our opposition to his nuclear weapons plans.Thank you.

Was he in during WWII?
LOL! I thought the same thing...that they were holding their noses!
I noticed that too. I tried to find a transcript of Rumsfeld's quote to use tonight, but no luck. It was a strong introduction for the Commander-In-Chief.
