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

Thanks. I surfed the channels several times throughout and your post had me do it again. Now our local NBC has joined in--though they didn't do it until recently. Still, better some than nothing.
ABC stayed with and CBS locally ignored.

It's over. Husband was clapping while I typed.

[The Wizard]

Great....Great......Great/h1>

[Cold Heat]

None of the Little Rock stations are carrying it. We are mostly cable and sat anyway.

[Darlin']

And hold this hard won ground for the realm of liberty. !

[fishntex]

W hit this out of the park! I am pumped.
Can you hear the soldiers over there hooting?

[Right_in_Virginia]

No, nothing surprising.

But, so clearly articulated. I'm almost glad FR went down--I actually listened to him.

[Mo1]

Main Media isn't airing it in Philly

[mathluv]

My DSL is SBC. I thought the strikers might have done something.

[Howlin]

Well, Joe Biden is officially "disppointed" on MSNBC; didn't hear anything new.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Glad you didn't miss it!

I found that our local NBC affiliate DID in fact carry the speech. The President won over "Fear Factor" in St. Louis!

[turbocat]

Nashville TN - all local affiliates are carrying it live - anyone else?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Good, tough speech.

I pray to G-d it helps, in the weeks and months of non-stop media onslaught ahead.

[BlessedBeGod]

"We will not fail. We will persevere and defeat this enemy."

Is he talking about Iraq or the Democrats?

[rhombus]

Tyranny & Murder or Liberty & Life?

Bumper sticker!

[McGruff]

It's good to be back. Missed a lot of the speech trying to get back on-line.

I notice Pres. Bush's eyes look pretty blood shot. What a tough job he's got right now. More than a 100 of us combined probably. Hopefully god will help him through these hard times. Things will get better in time.

[arasina]

Tell me how this speech was any different or had anything new compared to his other recent speeches. I'm disappointed.

[Lunatic Fringe]

And of course the first thing CNN says after the speech:

Bush's poll numbers are DOWN!

He did not give a date for troop withdrawl!

There is nothing new in this speech!

[Wait4Truth]

Yes, I read "Ten Minutes From Normal". I enjoyed it. Have you read "The Faith of George W. Bush" by Mansfield?

[Dane]

Hair club for men member and plagarist Biden on Chrissy Matthews show foaming at the mouth and head is spinning.

[alisasny]

Excuse me while I now get back to the SWAN LOL
