[Howlin]

Speech begins at 8:00 P.M. EDT; carried on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, and CSPAN.

Good speech. Confidently given. The Washington Post, New York Times, Dan Rather, etc. will hate it.

[prairiebreeze]

I was surprised when the Pres. talked about Nick Berg (indirectly) right out of the gate. I thought it was totally appropriate

[Hildy]

He's doing real good.

[cyncooper]

President Bush: We have learned new terms like Ricin and orange alert.

Terrorists seek to impose Taliban like rule country by country across the ME.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I'm here. This is a good speech!

I lost FR for a while..so I had to listen. This IS a great speech.

Pity half of America won't hear it.

[jwalsh07]

We did not seek this war on terror but nonetheless it found us and we will kill every sonofabitchin jihadist we can find.

Paraphrased of course. :-}

I thought the server was dead again.

It was, for the first half hour of Bush's speech.

[Irish Eyes]

I am back also. Bush is looking good.

[Peach]

It was a good line that the terrorists can fill hospitals but can't build them.

[DoctorMichael]

I even went to the super-secret 'backdoor' and couldn't get in.

[Petronski]

Soundbite tomorrow from the alphabet crapweasels:

Abu Gharib...grub...etc. [vomit]

[Political Junkie Too]

He did already note that a new prison facility will be built and Abu Ghraib razed.

If one seriously considers President Bush's talk of a war between Good and Evil in a Stephen King sort of way, then a place like Abu Ghraib begins to look like the Overlook Hotel in King's novel The Shining.

Abu Ghraib is a place where horrible things happened under Saddam Hussein's rule. Horrible things are now happening under American rule, too, although not as horrible as before. Yet.

Can Abu Ghraib be a cursed place that is better off being demolished than reused?

Thank you for the heads-up!

[amom]

Excellent! Now where were we? ;-)

[what's up]

This is a great speech.

How wonderful that Iraq is breaking out into a free society, helped by the US...

and President George Bush!

Very good days ahead.

[Cold Heat]

Nothing new dog, just spelling it out for the masses.(dumasses)

And Iraqi's as well.

[jwalsh07]

Defining Islamofascism DOWN!

[BlueAngel]

I tried to access Yahoo groups, FR backup but couldn't even find that. Oh well, I'm glad we are back. President is giving a fine speech. Hitting all points.

[ken5050]

Any volunteers to hear Chris Matthews diatribe after the speech...Here's his opening line......"I guess Scooter Libby wrote the President's speech tonight.."

[Mo1]

Have we got our positive attitudes ready today?

Of Course :0)
