I'm afraid the media missed the most important thing that Bush said. Thats' too bad, but John Kerry just took it in the face. FULL SOVEREIGNTY. Not partial, not incremental, FULL SOVERIGNETY. That is VERY good news for the US, but horrible news to European nations hoping to gain Iraqi contracts by putting pressure on the US. The U.N. now has no bargaining power, as Iraqi's hate them. They will either assist because they should or they will not, but what Bush has done, is remove John Kerry's platform from viability.

European nations were hoping that Kerry would trade rebuilding contracts for their support in Iraq. That trading card has now been taken away. [ lol-YOU GO, PRESIDENT BUSH and TEAM! ] The media wont report on it, but I tell you there is panic in the Kerry camp tonight. At the same time that the U.N. has been set up to promote supporting a new resolution, they will have to do it for nothing in return. Germany and France will get no business from Iraq, but the U.N. will be forced to participate anyway.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST, MOST INSIGHTFUL, INCREDIBLY REVEALING POSTS REGARDING THIS SPEECH TO DATE!

Certainly, I would have never nailed this point...but having read your analysis...just WOW!! SUPERB!! KUDOS!!! (Hope the kerry kamp - along with the bummed out greedy nations of france and GE, etc, - are writhing in depression about now...hehe)

Thank you, but as for insight, I was tipped off ahead of time.

The first of these steps will occur next month, when our coalition will transfer full sovereignty to a government of Iraqi citizens who will prepare the way for national elections.

I'll be damned he did say it...

That nails it! When I was in europe, the REAL sticking point was not that is was a war for oil BUT that it was a war to take oil away from EU members. (france, germany)

You forget the other story, Saddam had agreed to start pricing his oil in Euros thus undermining the US dollar. Just a minor point in agreement with you.

Nor did JOHN KERRY ever want FULL SOVEREIGNTY for a then Free South Vietnam long ago.
