"Today is the day"

I just couldn't believe 10 minutes into the war I heard that. Even I underestimated President Bush.

WOW.

[amom]

you do get very quiet and solemn - you sit in rooms with other people and just don't say anything.

Yes how true.

[Rockitz]

A "cut off the head" move tonite, it seems...

The first target is always Command and Control.

[mhking]

Here come the planes...
They're American planes,
Made in America.
Smoking?
Or non-smoking...

[Terriergal]

huh? With as fast as stuff is moving, people don't always reply to me either.

[TexasGunLover]

WHAT A GREAT LEADER WE HAVE. GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUSH!

[yonif]

WE WILL PREVAIL!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

GOD BLESS ISRAEL!

[Molly Pitcher]

Amen!

[Gabz]

God Bless him and keep him strong.

[Terriergal]

Didn't Bush just say 40 countries helping?

[PhiKapMom]

Loved it when he said it will not be half measures -- we are about to wipe out Saddam!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Just slapped Clinton. Something about not being a halfway effort.

[valleygal]

He sounds very confident and sure.

"This will not be a campaign of half measures...."
It's over. Short and sweet and very strong speech.

[Mo1]

More bombing noise on the Bagdad Web Cam .. not sure if it's AA's or what

[Carlucci]

"May God Bless our Country, and all who defend her."

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

He spoke so fast!

"My fellow citizens...

 

"More than 35 countries are giving crucial support."

 

Saddam has placed Iraqi women and children in harm's way.

 

"A final atrocity against his people."

 

"Weapons of mass-murder."

 

"Now that conflict has come, the only way to limit its duration is to apply decisive force."

 

"This will not be a campaign of half measures."

 

"We'll pass through this time of peril and carry on the work of peace."

[henbane]

May God bless Our Country and All Who Defend Her!

[Constitution Day]

Eagle has arrows in its talons......WAR!

Just mentioned that to my wife, BUMP

[section9]

Good luck troops. Good luck Mr. President. I support you both in this effort. I am prowd of you. Thank you.

Hmmmm. I'm reminded of all the times that Great Satan told me that this would never happen. Looks like I'm owed an apology.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

What an awesome President. Puts burden on the military, says the trust is well placed, and that the HONOR will go to those who help achive. He notes that no half-measures will be applied. This mission will be accomplished, although it may take longer than we think.

Another one out of the park. Holy cow. God protect GWB, our soldiers, and the innocents.
