Well I hope that when he's done with his visit he is able to take a few daisy cutters home with him. Let Israel drop a couple in the bekka valley and see if the others understand that they are next.

I remembered Hamas was given a chance not to blow it if it stopped bombing and played the charitble institution game it meant to be. Hezbollah, which does have an ethnic identity (Shias (like Iran) in Lebanon) I thought was still off the list.

I did notice that the "al Aqsa brigades" (sp?) was indeed recently added to the list.

Arafat's own little terror group? The state department's catching on.

I heard on MSNBC this morning (via Dan Garay--I think that's the spelling) that the government has confirmed that Iran helped al Qaeda fighters escape from Afghanistan and Iran helped them get to Lebanon--and Arafat and the PLO recruited them.

That's probably why (besides the Karine A) we put Iran back on the top of the fecal matter list.

For too long our culture has said, "If it feels good, do it." Now America is embracing a new ethic and a new creed: "Let's roll."

The best part of the whole speech - the new ethic, and a not-so-veiled slap in the face to the Clintons!

Bush was strong, decisive and direct. I thought his body language was better than in speeches past. He mentioned “God” a few times and stating that he supports faith-based initiative groups. Something we never heard in a State of the Union Address in eight years. He showed his admiration, love and respect for his wife when he mentioned Laura towards the end of the speech. She is a class act.

Overall it was a great speech and Bush's goals on fighting this war, homeland security and our solution to overcome this current economic struggle are ideas I support.

The democratic response by House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt was feeble at best.

Let’s Roll.
