In a pre-speech meeting with reporters on Tuesday, a high administration official with intimate knowledge of the president's thinking said that the president did not intend for the speech to be the last word on Iraq.

I take it the high governmental official with intimate knowledge of the president's thinking is GWB.

Peggy Noonan MEGA PING!!

[TexasNative2000]

As always, thanks for the ping.

The thoughts were pithily, and sometimes memorably, expressed. They didn't seem artificially sprinkled in. They arose from the text, were woven into it, and organic to it. And so they didn't seem showy and insubstantial, they seemed like real thoughts that had a particular weight. This is oratory of the post-soundbite era, and it's a step forward.

Very well stated.
