This speach, if it in any way suggests "WE CAN'T ENFORCE OUR OWN LAWS, AND PROTECT OUR OWN BORDERS" will be an absolute FLOP.. Bush's approval ratings will hit the teens if he tries to sell those lies to the Public.

I agree, he is shooting himself in the foot, sending our guys to Iraq to fight the enemy when he can't protect a border that has easy access for enemy to cross. Rating will nosedive

[stevio]

If this is the path Bush is going to take, does he expect the public to believe we can bring democracy to Iraq, but not kick invaders out of our country?

tries to sell those lies

Trying to sell lies would be a lot easier on the President's approval rating than speaking the truth.

I believe that if he just said whatever was expedient, most of this controversy would go away and his approval rating would shoot up. But instead he insists on telling the truth about the situation and attempting to make some kind of progress in the right direction. How horrible.

It's not that we can't, it's that we won't. It's an insult for anyone to think we are that stupid. We can do any damn thing we make up our minds to do including deporting 12 million ILLEGALS (including how many CRIMINALS).

I won't be listening to this crap tonight either.
