"we will not go back to the days of false comfort".

"False comfort"....that was the 90s with Clinton at the helm. A leader who would not lead because he didn't want to hurt his poll numbers. Sorrysackoshit!

Yep... I hold Clinton responsible for every single one of those deaths 9/11 :-(

[Howlin]

Now, remind me: what was it that Bush said in one of his speeches about 9-11 about this being a "long road?"

People have forgotten that!

...For a generation leading up to September 11th, 2001, terrorists and their radical allies attacked innocent people in the Middle East and beyond, without facing a sustained and serious response. The terrorists became convinced that free nations were decadent and weak. And they grew bolder, believing that history was on their side....

...We have learned that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength - they are invited by the perception of weakness...

Fabulous speech! I especially loved all the subtle (obvious to FReepers) references to the "decadent" Klintoon administration.

I just hope the sheeple were watching... I know there's a major football game on one channel right now. Did all the cable channels and networks carry Dubya's speech live?
