We need a Surge.... of remote piloted bombers and aircraft and observation high techbots.

We need to use our strength, our high tech defense industry.

Stealth and High Tech overwhelming FORCE not Surge of more handcuffed troops. We need a Surge of Mean Killer rules of DESTRUCTION.

It would be nice if he named the obstructionist DUmocrats and the Iranian/Syrian terrorists as the two major obstacles to success. At least that would be honest.

Why is perky Katie previewing the speech and telling us poll results, all before GWB has said word one? Let's not prime the audience with any preconceptions. /suspension of disbelief

[eleni121]

Thanks for putting this up and we support the president 100%.

Our military is the most heroic fighting force ever assembled by a free nation.

Darn, the first line of the speech was cut off cuz Sheppie was blabbering.

[WalterSkinner]

The President looks tired. He also sounds calm and resolute.

[cornfedcowboy]

Sounds to me like we are going after Al Satr

[PISANO]

I don't know if this new strategy will work, but I pray it does, even though my mind says it won't.

Not because our troops can't do it but because WHAT HAS TO BE DONE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED!!

Re picture #1: I LOVE that pic.

I had to kick my son of the pc to go here... but I think the President is doing a great job. He was very clear in how this will be different from the past.

And he placed a lot of responsibility on the Iraqis, which is a good thing.

He's also (now) pressuring neighboring countries. Good!

[Miss Didi]

Nice mention of Condi's participation. The Queen Bees will be peeved.

[NormsRevenge]

Hmmmm?

Time to get out of Dodge for Muqqty?

[do the dhue]

GOOD SHOW!

Biggest news from the speech

Succeeding in Iraq also requires defending its territorial integrity – and stabilizing the region in the face of the extremist challenge. This begins with addressing Iran and Syria. These two regimes are allowing terrorists and insurgents to use their territory to move in and out of Iraq. Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops. We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq.

Turbin Durbin is going to give the Dems' response.
