Hummmm. I don't care what they think.

[Jagdgewehr]

The allies...nay...The world be damned!

[El Sordo]

I'd be interested to know what these folks would really be thinking if we told them we'd just walk away from Iraq and leave them to deal with it themselves.

[solzhenitsyn]

I was thrilled with this President's straight talk.

[dalebert]

This must mean Bush hit a home run.

[Druidstl]

They're just surprised that the U.S. is now being led by a man who's not afraid to call a spade a spade. For the past 8 years they were used to dealing with a spineless pu**y who allowed us to be bent over and treated like a 5 dollar whore. No more!

What are our allies complaining about? Do they disagree?

[Maceman]

Our so-called "allies" haev raised our hackles often enough. Let 'em eat cake.

[martian_22]

Conspicuous by their absence are the countries W didn't name.

World War II need never have happened if only France and Britain had slapped Hitler down on his 1934 sending of troops into the Saar(?) in violation of the WWI peace terms.

'Evil axis' and others talk back State of Union raises hackles worldwide, even among allies

Tough cookies, scumbags. If you aren't for us you are against us.

Why would the Phillipines defense minister think that timidity in the face of terror applied to him? I thought the Phillipines was doing its utmost to be rid of terrorists. Am I mistaken?

[tracer]

So much the better......

[BobS]

I was thrilled dubya didn't mention the United Nations at all!

[rebdov]

"I don't care what they think."

And neither does our President. Time for them to shine our shoes. I just love it when the French have a hissy fit and call us a hyperpower. Their envy is palpable. America for far too long has been too shy about its greatness.

Europe has become a culture of the soft(SOFT=PC=hedonistic=what ever feels good, do it=no respect for the life of the unborn), thus could not be depended upon in a war to preserve Freedom. So my fellow Americans, it will be all up to us to carry the burden to ensure that the world will not fall into the hands of the dark force. It's High Noon, and Back Bone time again for Uncle Sam.

"..of "terrorism against peoples and governments that do not surrender to US wishes,"

what is the difference between that and this?:

"..of "terrorism against peoples and governments that do not surrender to Islam/Muslim wishes."

How unlikely would it be if one of the "surprises" in store for us is our own muslim citizens planning an attack against our nation on a particular day?

Please, no flames, in light of the fact that Islamic leaders here have remained virtually silent in denouncing the 9-11 attacks?

[mass55th]

Allies? Ha ha ha ha! Allies bought with money!

[Highway55]

I’ll see all their hackles and raise them one more hackle!

Everyone has missed the point. Bush was showing his sensitivity to diversity and slipped in a littel Eubonics here. What he said was "Ask us of evil", not "axis of evil"
