We are at war and our leader had NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE to say.

He could even whip up patriotic fever.

What were his rallying points?

What were his rallying points?

His final line was great:

"One thing is for certain, though, about me, and the world has learned this: When I say something, I mean it."

Compare and contrast to our previous president, who quibbled about what the definition of "is" is.

The main point was made repeatedly...America's resolve...we are not leaving Iraq in the lurch. Patriotic fever wouldn't have been appropriate. He talked about pinning purple hearts on wounded soldiers recently at Fort Hood. Now Nightline is on and the usual suspects are 'nuancing' everything along RAT lines. Yawn.

One critical point that I heard made REPEATEDLY is that failure in Iraq will have unthinkable consequences.
