Live thread for the President's speech!

[carton253]

They attacked us without response. They thought we were weak and decadant. Since 9/11, we have carried the fight to the enemy. We are rolling back the threat, not on the fringes, but at the heart of its power. This work continues.

"Iraq one of the swiftest and most humane actions in history.... terrorists were convinced that free nations were decadent and weak ... grew bolder believing history was on their side.... since we went to war, history has taken a different turn, carrying the fight to the enemy, rolling back the terrorist threat to civilization, not on the fringes of its influence but in the heart of its power..."

[Mo1]

Terrorist attack for a decade without a response

Hey Clinton are you paying attention

[Right_in_Virginia]

We have carried the fight to the enemy....

[Howlin]

I just heard it on Fox. I'm surprised you didn't hear me jumping for joy!

All that research for NOTHING.........LOL.

[TigersEye]

Crud! My live webcast from the White House is silent!!!

[cyncooper]

He stated flatly that Iraq possessed and used WMDs.

[Maigrey]

A place of peace or a location of exporting terror.

[GOPrincess]

Great news about Edwards!

Thanks for the ping, Howlin.

[carton253]

The triumph of democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq would be a setback for international terrorism.

[Peach]

Our enemies understand that a free Iraq will be free of THEM!

[kitkat]

HE IS talking like a REAL LEADER.

GO DUBYA!

[TalentOnLoan]

The most humane war...who gives us credit for that?

[arete]

Who's keeping count of the number of "terrorism" "terrorists" mentions in the speech? I lost count at around 10.

"Terrorists became convinced in the 90's they could get away with it and became bolder. "

I've always said that you can't ignore bullies. It only emboldens them to commit even more serious offenses. When they are ignored by the people they prey on, they look at that as a sign of weakness and use it to their advantage.

He stated flatly that Iraq possessed and used WMDs.

They did... Hence the UN resolutions

[yield 2 the right]

Those darn 'RATS. Chewing on your PC cables;>)

[oceanview]

I believe him, but all I can say is: that WMD evidence needs to be forthcoming, even if its in Syria, we need to see the photos of the tractor trailer trucks driving into the Bekaa Valley.

Five mos. after freeing Iraq, a group of killers are trying tto set back progress. Some are members of the old regime. Some are foreign terrorists to pursue their war on America and other free nations. We can't be certain how these gruops work together, but they have a common goal.
