We will win this war.

[Owen]

Looks like we will, because this man is probably the most resolute President we will see in our lifetimes.

[Tears of a Clown]

And we’re winning it on our terms, not the terms of surrender and bush-bashing the dims have been praying for since the iraq war started.

Love the way EVERY single supposedly "objective" news source worked this propaganda line into their supposed "News Coverage".

It was a great speech. I’d have perfered a demand that Democrats in Congress be censured for their attacks on General Petraeus but knew the President wouldn’t do that.

Only if the Dems get the hell out of the way.

I watched the speech....and this may shock some people after my falling out with Bush....BUT...I came away with a renewed respect for the man. I have had a problem with some of his stands on issues....but he KICKED ASS tonight.

You want to know how well he did....check out the reaction of Chris Matthews...he is about to blow a gourd.

[Jaysun]

Did you guys see Jack the Democrap’s rebuttal? What a disgrace. He was jumping around like a used car salesman on meth. He essentially promised that Democrats would do their best to undermine everything the President plans to do.

Prayer for President Bush and our Troops.

Victory - a word that is not in the Democrats' vocabulary.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Does anyone remember how the President described the 1,500/month that have been killed since January? Does that number represent AQ or AQ and other groups?

[sam_paine]

Anybody have a link to audio/vid for the live-news challenged?

[tomnbeverly]

no sidebar on Presidents address... wow... did Freerepublic get a NY Times Moderator onboard or something?

[spectre]

So I just heard John Edwards on LKL, say Bush says that "9/11 is directly related to Iraq...9/11 is not related to Iraq and the American people now know that, but they continue to say it. The President said it again tonight".

"They continue to talk about fear, they continue to focus on the connection between the war in Iraq and what happened on Sept 11th. THERE IS NO CONNECTION".

"There is a SERIOUS threat of Islamic terrorism. There's no doubt about that."

Edwards says he will go after them where ever they are..

Humm?..Him and what Army?!..

Yahoo news is the worst most slanted. It’s my home page. Sigh. You can’t escape it.

At any rate I took thing away from this outstanding speech - the look that the President gave before the two or three sentences about the shia and iran. Whoa. He narrowed his eyes like an animal. Replay it. I recorded that speech and the after comments on MSNBC for my sons to watch when they are older. They need to see what fools look like when their lips are moving.
