[Howlin]

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

[Howlin]

What did Fred say that made you mad???

[jwalsh07]

Do you know when we had the referendum that elected Lugar, Hagel ,McCain and David Gergen as " leading Republicans? "

No, I would not follow them anywhere. If Bush or Rummy call, I put the business in mothballs and go where they tell me.

[Petronski]

Try to stream www.kfi.com and hear Dale Dye if you can.


He could easily be one of us. I'm very pleased.

[Catspaw]

And Biden's STILL yapping on Chrissy Matthews. As soon as Fox is back out of commercial, I'll be back there.

[SJackson]

It was a great speech, clearly enunciating the plan. Nobody could have watched that without feeling reassured. Except I guess for Democrats who didn't want the country to be reassured...

It was.

But someone needs to tell his speachwriters that people who burn and behead Americans aren't MILITIAS, they're TERRORISTS. It's a war on TERROR, not MILITIAS.

[McGruff]

Ceci actually made an intelligent comment.

The message of the speech was have patience, things will get better.

[roses of sharon]

Why would Bush address military operations to our enemies?

[Howlin]

It's 8:45 and he is STILL talking!

I guess this is the only place he can get a mike!

[TnMomofTwo]

Thanks! Luckily, all three local affiliates decided to carry the speech live here in Nashville...so I was able to watch our great President speak. I really can not wait until the debates with Kerry....

[hole_n_one]

The timing of this particular event is certainly suspicious.

I'm now wrapped from head-to-toe.......

[Brad’s Gramma]

I still had my dsl, ANY and all sites, but FR.

[Mo1]

Joe Biden is still talking !!!!

Ummm .. has anyone asked Joe if the UN won't send troops .. what makes him thing NATO will

If he says one more time The President neeeeeeeeeds to asssssssssk ... I going punch my TV

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" Dumbutt Fred says it didn't go far enough on the security in Iraq.... Translation, Fred was scared witless during an attack while he was in country a few weeks back."

Fred is obsessed with Fallujah-it's all he talks about.

[Petronski]

Were there al qaida in Iraq before this started?

DYE: "Absolutely there were sleepers in there, and they were there because it was a very comfortable place for them to be."

[Loyal Buckeye]

For the Washington insiders: This speech was not for you. It was for normal people around the country.

[arasina]

Madaleine Albright and Gloria Allred are in some sort of contest to see which one of them can actually wear a larger pin than anybody on the face of the earth!

Too bad the pins aren't big enough to cover their faces...their mouths, in particular.

[Peach]

At least some local affiliates decided to be smart and carry it.

[TomGuy]

CSPAN is having call in. Caller talking about American imperialism in Iraq. CSPAN Call In is always left-leaning.

[amom]

"...Americans are used to Instant Gratification..."

That is so true. Guess some of us are going to do a little growing up with this.

[Political Junkie Too]

David Gergen as " leading Republicans?

Huh? Wasn't he a "special advisor" to Clinton for a while?
