I did not see the speech. Give me some slack. I read between Jwalsh07's lines. When I ask him to give it to me straight, he does. When I see it, I will try to post my own review. Bush has had a run of pedestrian speeches however. He needs to ramp it up.
The real significance of the speech is that he gave it. Somebody has woken to the fact that they will have no chance at the brass ring of an oasis in the ME if they do not start fighting back against the left, the right and the media. And not necessarily in that order.
