“ . . . false comfort in a dangerous world.”

His speech tonight was, in clarity, the best and most compelling confirmation of the war on terrorism and the ongoing front against this war in regard to Iraq. International Islamic terrorism knows, that Iraq is it’s front – the terrorists are bringing in their soldiers to fight there . . . and better there, than in New York City.

But, one statement Bush said was, a quote, regarding the mind set, the neurosis, of some Americans, particularly of the Democratic Party, and of many in the civilized world – “false comfort in a dangerous world”.

Just look at what has just happened in California. The opinion of Californians was not asked, nor were the people of California given the opportunity to decide for themselves whether foreigners, illegal aliens, should be given defacto citizenship by means of a California drivers license. The Democratic Party, but in particular the Governor of California, decided for them, for the people of California, simply in a desperate means to save his governorship by means of voter fraud perpetrated by his foreign friends the illegal aliens. It would be too risky to allow the people of California to decide this issue themselves – because the same Democratic Party and Governor knew they would decide in a direction that wouldn’t met their approval. All you need to register to vote, is to show your California drivers license. And now, illegal aliens, foreigners, are given the right to vote in California, and thus disfranchise millions of legal citizens their rights and their Democratic process. And of course, this is exactly what will happen in California, and precisely what was intended to happen.

False comfort in a dangerous world? Yes. In California, we can see that in too many. Too many. But it won’t be long now. Very soon, the terrorist who are already here, and those now crossing the borders, they too will have a California drivers license. Why do they care, if their face is on the license? They will erase their face and thumb print from the face of the world when they blow themselves up along with a school bus in Los Angeles.

False comfort in a dangerous world? Yes. In California, the State government breaks the law, breaks immigration law, threatens our national security. And so, I ask:

... what is Bush going to do about it? Where is Ashcroft, homeland security, where are our law enforcers? Where?

Or maybe, when it comes to California, and the Hispanic vote, they have false comfort in a dangerous world?

Why do we always have to do it ourselves? Is that what is going to have to happen?

Good speech by our President. The best since his address after 911. And, it isn’t the time for false comfort in a dangerous world. Mr. President, please come to California. Because, there is a lot of false comfort there – and it’s a very dangerous world.

The maximum concession the Republicans can make, will fall short of what those who hate us and America want. It will never be enough, you can never give them enough. Leaders come and go, but nations are more than any one leader. Liberty alone makes a nation fit for liberty. That it how it’s going to have to work in Iraq. And that is how it’s going to have to work in California.

Quality speech by Bush. The only issue that might be a problem is that he called for a multinational division to be put under AMERICAN control. A lot of U.N. members have been calling for U.S. concessions in power if they're going to support the reconstruction. U.S. retaining control over a multinational force might not fly too well. Thoughts?

Good! Of itself an okay speech.

"Good!" because of stuff that wasn't said, that was being pushed -- like return of the oil field contracts to the French and Germans. Bush is a good man.

But he has to get the US internals on a surer footing, or the extrenal forces against us will break further through than they have already, and that would include obvious enemies, if not new ones in for the exploitation.

You know what Bush really needs in an address to the nation? To list the WMD evidence and the deceit that the UN weapons inspectors went through years and years after the Gulf War, right up to this war. Saddam Hussein made numerous threats and remarks about destroying America and showed hostilities, not to mention his record of aggression. And the WMD has to be addressed sometime. I thought they were finding SOMETHING, but they are not hinting at anything anymore and seem to be ignoring that part of it. The question is-if Iraq doesn't have them now, where'd they go because we know he had a program going. Of course, we gave him over a yr. to prepare for this so what happened in that time?

Bush gave a pretty good speech tonight. He laid out his case well and restated Iraq's role in the War on Terror. He also stated that the US will not leave until victory has been accomplished.

However, I see Bush getting only a few points bounce in the polls. This speech was not intended to gain new support, but only to reassure supporters about the righteousness of our involvement in Iraq.

This was a wonderful speech, but there is a saddening aspect to the context. There was nothing as to the facts presented that should not have already been well known to people of, and clearly reported in the press of, a free and liberal nation. There was nothing as to the attitudes and conclusions presented that should not already have been convened and promulgated by the intelligencia of such a nation.

The fact that the President had to give this speech only reminds me of the ceaseless and bilious activities of the illiberal traitors ensconced at all levels in this Republic.
