I wish he did (obviously we disagree on this). I remember when the democrats started their disingenuous strategy of using the war to divide America. Our son was in Iraq at the time, and when people would trash what they were doing (example: Richard Clarke), they just sat and took it. It went on and on that way, very little was said to defend what they had done.
I yelled at the tv a lot during that time.
There are people who have all his speeches and comments sourced (I'm unfortunately not one of them :), but I would like you to review the number of times he spoke (and was not covered by the media).
