In all honesty, this speech should have been given a year ago. He's let the lies continue for so long that they've percolated into the American consciousness. Some people will never change their minds now. Morale for the troops has been hurt and hurt badly. I do NOT understand the reluctance not to take to the airwaves and defend the policies of the administration, the war and condemn the lies on the left. It's a form of insanity, imo.

A year ago he was declared victor - by a 3 million+ vote margin - in an election that was essentially about only Iraq. Bush did defend his policies, and he did it pretty well.

The lies about the war have been percolating for a long time. They've gotten much worse since the election. Do you think that's a good thing?
