SPECIAL EDITION

Tonight, the citizens of the United States and people throughout the world saw a man with passion, principle, and resolve, lead a united effort in the war on terrorism. In a speech being hailed as one of the best modern era speeches ever given, President George W. Bush spoke to a joint session of Congress regarding the attack on America. The President outlined just who the war on terrorism is against, but also revealed specifics as to who they are and what they stand for. He also powerfully reiterated that the United States and countries united with us will not stand for actions like this any longer. In one of the strongest statements in his speech, the President said, 'Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists', surely a outward warning to those who are waivering in their decision to join us in this war.

After the President's 40+ minute speech, the standard opposition party response was also historic for it was not an opposing view, but a stand with each other as one united front of principle and resolve.

Enjoy this very special edition of the daily dose of Dubya!

rintense, thank you. As usual, I'm replying the next day, but I still have goosebumps from the most electrifying and inspiring speech I've ever heard in my life. I was kicking myself for not taping it, but thankfully, C-Span replayed it and I was able to tape all of it.

I told my daughter (whose husband is stationed at the Pentagon - we are grateful he escaped unharmed) that I want to save the tape for their children to see when they are older. This was truly a historic night.

God Bless President Bush and God Bless America.

Our president was outstanding. I especially liked the line:

"You are with us, or you are with the terrorists."(paraphrasing)

On a Barf Alert note: I guess Hillary is then with the terrorists, for her behavior certainly did not indicate that she was with us.

Yes - great speech. Though I am pretty sure I saw teleprompter screens, one on each side, and his eyes reading from them.

actually you can see them in #26 above, on two poles.

Not that it matters. Take care.
