[Howlin]

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

[arasina]

Gulp. I think I just posted something that sounds a lot like CNN-speak.

[Peach]

Yes, ma'am.

[Mo1]

"Bush has no plan, Bush has no plan! He has no plan...I've never heard of Bush having a plan for Iraq. What plan? Does he have one, really? Quagmire!"

You're listening to Joe Biden too huh??

[Miss Marple]

Krauthammer says he gave a sense of direction. Detail wasn't terribly exciting but necessary. I am glad that we have Krauthammer because we also will have to listen to CICI CONNOLLY!

[cgk]

Hume & Krauthammer = another "ticket" to terrify the libs.

[Hildy]

Is that true? Is that what they said?

[Indie]

Thank goodness for streaming video from The Pentagon Channel on whitehouse.gov :)

The internet doing what commie news media will not. NO wonder the RATS want to take over the net!!

[cyncooper]

Krauthammer on Fox says he needed to stop the panic and he's not sure how it will go but he did say some solid things.

Ratcheted down the expectation that Iraq will have a Jeffersonian democracy.

He thinks the speech succeeded to the extent it was intended to.

[Maigrey]

None of my networks ran it. I ran to FNC for it.

Maybe the networks prefer keeping the circus for the unwashed masses.

[Darlin']

Krauthhammer: Gave a sense of direction. A more realistic vision of what our endgame is.

[Carolinamom]

Says it all, doesn't it? Won't give up; never have; never will.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

This has been a great speech. Too bad the majority of Americans will only get to hear truncated and edited sound bites.
The Democrats cannot continue their silly whining that they have no idea, none, zip, zero, nada about the President's strategy for Iraq.
Biden is already saying the speech was crap on MSNBC.
I think Biden is crap.
The President should always have an audience when he speaks, he does so much better in an interactive forum.

[Petronski]

KFI640 now has Dale Dye on with Ken for commentary

Please tell me Dale Dye is a real life conservative: I love that guy's work! (Watch for his four lines in JFK.)

[YaYa123]

Joe Biden didn't hear anything new, he's disappointed, and he hasn't shut up yet!

[Howlin]

LF, I never thought I could hate anybody more than I hated Bill and Hillary Clinton and their minions.

I was wrong.

[mathluv]

'Is he talking about Iraq or the Democrats?'

Is there a difference?

[prairiebreeze]

Krauthammer pointing out that the Pres set the tone for what we may end up with in Iraq is not a Jeffersonian democracy per se. That we have made compromises within the Sunni Triangle.

Oh Crap, CiCi is still on. She's wearing her red, must be feeling insecure....

[Political Junkie Too]

Wow! Last week I predicted that the media would wait for two speeches before refusing to cover the President. I was off by two speeches.

-PJ

[RightWhale]

You did.

[amom]

Thanks for the heads up. Love Dale Dye. Listening now.
