Didn't see this posted anywhere.
I have my major concerns about many policies of this administration. The "Patriot Act" has gone way too far and attacks our constitutional rughts in the name of a flase security IMHO. Campaign Finance reform was a blow to all of our freedoms IMHO. The Immigration Policy is a shambles and inviting more terror and socialization into our country.
But this speech was inspiring and very much right on the money regarding the war on terrorists abroad and those who abett them.
So, with respect to this speech, the administrations stand on the 2nd amendment and my hold-out that they will be equally strong on the abortion issue (we'll know for sure the 1st Supreme Court vacancy they fill), I give the President very high marks.
If the 2nd amendment is defended, if we agressively go after the enemies of this nation and if the unborn are protected, I will thank God and believe we are turning the corner ... despite the other globalist, social policies I am directly and unalterably opposed to.
Semper Fi! and ... LET'S ROLL!

I would change that to "attempt to fill", unless we conservatives do all we can to get him a Republican majority in the Senate.

And we will not allow any terrorist or tyrant to threaten civilization with weapons of mass murder. Take that you dems and UN members!

Is this the transcript given ahead of time? I thought it was going to air at 10:30 EST. Did I miss it?
To: Jeff Head
Why is it again that we have a United Nations? To give all the communists and terrorist in the world a place to get together? To see create a forum where Albania's vote means as much as ours? Why do we allow these international criminals to gather in New York. Out the UN now.

Please ignore me! I guess that speech was given yesterday.

We will never have a perfect administration just as we never have perfect leaders at any time or in any fight. But we now have one whose heart is in the right place who has respect for the America we have always striven to become and who worships God. This is good.
While we should never hide our ideals sometimes we must make do with what is available. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. That was true when Tom Paine said it and is true now. Differences can be settled once these mad dogs at our throats are disposed of.

silent leges inter arma...loosely translated from the latin, means that in time of war the laws are silent and the guns speak.
Iraq is a stategic necessity in countering what will be this country's biggest challenge in the next quarter century...China. A friendly government installed by the U.S. that will allow U.S. military bases in its country will do much to end conflict in the Middle East, stop terrorism and provide a staging area for upcoming conflicts with China, whether such conflicts happen in N. Korea or Taiwan.
Of course we can't say that.
But why else would we aim a cannon at a gnat?

I agree Jeff, GWB was right-on in his UN speech.
It was a powerful indictment of the ineptness of the UN Security Counsel.
