April.....how is your faith guiding you....

President....for those who urge more diplomacy...it hasn't worked for 12 years....saddam has armed ....we live in a dangerous world......I hope people understand the lesson of 9-11 and much take threats very seriously....and in the case of Iraq it is now time...my faith sustains me...I pray daily for guidance and wisdom and strength....if we were to commit our troops I would pray for their safety and for the safety....there are thousands of people who pray for me....whom I will never be able to meet, and for that I'm grateful....it's been a comforting feeling to know that is true. I pray for peace, April.

Q: How is your faith guiding you? A: Diplomacy isn't working

"What sustains me, I pray daily for wisdom and strenght, I pray for safety for troops and Iraq's daily"

[baseballmom]

Thousands pray??? More like MILLIONS are praying for him

[StarFan]

Interesting, he just said there WILL be a vote regardless how it turns out--let all countries take a position and be counted. All along we've heard the pundits tell us if we didn't have enough votes we wouldn't pursue one.

He's recognizing those of us who pray for him daily and is comforted by it.

[glock rocks]

you're good. bless you.

[mitchbert]

Thank you, Mr. President, for reminding the world that the most impprtant thing in your mind is the security of America. And for meaning it.

Look lady...the world has heard ALL of this before. He is repeating the EXACT SAME ARGUMENTS he has made over and over again INTERMINABLY FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS. The world doesn't get it, the peaceniks don't get it, France & Germany doesn't get it. NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS THEY NEVER WILL! It is HIGH TIME to quit making these REDUNDANT arguments. THE TIME FOR TALK IS OVER! THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW!!!!!!!!!!

He just thanked us for praying for him and his family! He's got tears in his eyes and so do I.

"It's not the critic who counts.........It's not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled................Credit belongs to the man who really was in the arena, his face marred by dust, sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs to come short and short again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. It is the man who actually strives to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasm and knows the great devotion, who spends himself on a worthy cause, who, at best, knows in the end the triumph of great achievement. And who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and cruel souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
~ Teddy Roosevelt

That was the most beautiful thing - his words on prayer. We do pray for you and for those things, Mr. President.

[ecurbh]

He's making me cry talking about his faith.

Ditto

[RobRoy]

Yes, one "tinfoil had" idea that keeps going around my head is that he has credible evidence that there is a "nuke in a suitcase" in some US city that WILL go off if we go to war.

Then what?

Sorry, but it IS possible...

[Politico2]

You are obviously not listening to radio.

This coming across on radio as the best he has given.

Radio is worldwide.

Interestingly I'm listening to this on the radio and I think it's fine. I agree with you.

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh.... you did!
