Hi. I just got home. Didn't see or hear the speech, so I'm glad to see your comments since I respect your opinions greatly.
I note on Yahoo New front page that their headline says something about Bush takes blame in Iraq. I suspect that will be the media line, reinforcing their template for the story that "it's another Vietnam" by using the President's words against him.
However, does anyone other than me recall that the media were already screaming about a "quagmire" before our troops went into Afghanistan? It was Ramadan. Winter was coming. The Russians left with their tails between their legs. Yada, yada, yada, ad nauseum. The Left NEVER wants us to strike back when enemies hit us.
aol is taking the same tack, Wolfstar. It's disgraceful.
The president was great tonight. His tone was calm. He was deliberate with his words. And he let our enemies know that we are coming after them. Defeat is not an option.
He also let the Iraqis know that they better step up too.

Yep. The left just can not stand the thought of an American victory. Dick Durbin reminded us of this when he gave the "Democrat response" to the president's speech tonight--LOL, of all people.
