I've never been terribly impressed by any president's speeches, mostly they don't really say anything at all and just keep re-hashing the same old slogans and bunk over and over again. Hence I always try to turn off the TV when they come on...

Bush and company have said very little new for quite some time......

No reason? How about sanctions against Iraq which lead to a million deaths...support for Israel which has done everything Iraq is accused of (invading neigbouring countries, oppressing and killing their people, WMD) stationing troops in their holy land, etc....

"Get out journalists...we don't want you to report what you see". I paraphrase here a bit.

And he's trying to throw in 9-11 references for "Bonus Points" with the American public. I don't like that all.

The only way that I'd back a war is if we had full support from the U.N., not b/c our president has a score to settle

Well we are attacked, PREEMPTIVELY AGAIN.

I'll say forget the U.N and the rest, we need to take some action.

That time is now.

Its sad how everyone forgets how many lost there lives at 9/11

It makes me sick.

NO!

And why should he? If we DO attack, I'm sure that some UN ambassadors will give some strongly worded speeches condemning the US for "not working with the International community" or some other nonsense of that nature. Will they actually DO anything about it, however? NO! The UN security council has proven itself to be spineless, and has no real authority without our military backing them up.

What do you want, specifics? Do your research.

All you democrats do is insult, insult, insult because Bush is not a great speaker. I would rather have a bad speaker than have a GREAT speaker who lies to us all the time, ie Clinton.

Every president lies to us. Clinton lied about getting head. Big deal. I don't know many men that would admit that to their wife, let alone 260 million people

Under OATH.

No big deal, right ! !!

do you EVER stop whining, honestly? You live in this little fantasy world where everyone is just peachy to everyone else. Obviously at this point in time Iraq is considered a bigger threat than Iran, and this is the reason for the sudden push towards Iraq. Bush has more advisors who have better understanding of world policy than you, in your little world that extends no farther than your nose, so please dont attempt to act as if you have some omniscient view on the world.

His reply for the comparison of Iraq to a possible Vietnam(sp?) was very very unsatisfactory.

You should read the newest Rolling Stone. It explains why there were hardly any pictures of dead bodies during the Gulf war.

If it makes you sick then go after the real perps - OBL & gang - which to Bush's credit he is doing. But this whole lets-go-to-war-to-avenge-the-attack-on-daddy thing in insane specially when the economy can least afford the war!!!!

And you live in a world with make believe enemies. Iraq isn't a threat, most of the world knows that. Moreover, more think that the US is a threat. Who will be the next threat? Iran? Syria? France? Just produce a pack of lies and go for it. And no, I don't stop "whining".
