#4 spoke of the sacrifices made, but more importantly, he noted that the offensive was the only way to win the WOT. No backing down. Noted that we are in the ME for the long term and those countries who aide, abet, shelter terrorists (hint, hint: Iran and Syria) will pay the consequences.

IMHO, the speech was an answer to those who want to withdraw, and a response to Kerry, who's been trying to appear to the right of Bush in the Iraq war, at least the last couple weeks, and with a wink/nod to his lefty supporters. Bush does best when he articulates strength and resolve - he was on that today, standing O' from the graduating Cadets

#5 ..The best part for me was watching LTGen John Rosa, who was my boss for a while at Shaw AFB, doing his thing for the first time as Superintendent. I have NO doubt that he threw a lot of air-waisters out on their pointy little heads and is getting the Academy back to where it's supposed to be.

#7 I was reading drudge and would think that the graduating class (and most of the military) was one step away from mutiny. "The new Air Force officers will enter a military strained by an occupation of Iraq that has become increasingly violent in the past two months." Oh my why did they even join up unless it was going to be picnics and dance socials. Of course the military is strained DUH it called a WAR you IGITS and by the way war is DANGEROUS.

#8 Cyber Sarge, love your comment about the picnics and dances! LOL...
Drudge how has as his big "shocker" headline:
BUSH COMPARES WAR ON TERROR TO WWII!

Well, DUH, Drudge! What's the shockeroo about that?
I knew this on 9/11.
What's up with the Left that they find this "startling?"

#9 More gas-baggery. Americans paid almost $120,000,000,000 to create a power vacuum for human garbage like al-Sadr and his Iranian masters, to fill. For 10 months, al-Sadr terrorists were allowed exclusive patrol "rights" in large sections of Baghdad. When al-Sadr began his terror campaign, he built up support which now reaches 67%. (Iraqi Center for Research and Strategic Studies: 32% "strongly support" al-Sadr, while 35% "somewhat support" the terrorist.) Why not? Become a al-Sadr supporter and your city will become an American free-zone. And this farce will go nation wide, when Bush completes the beginning of his policy of giving Iraq to the terror entity of Iran.

#10 WWII: Pearl Harbor attacked by planes (no warning).
WOT: WTC attacked by planes (no warning)
WWII: Despot megalomaniacs bent on our destruction
WOT: Islamofacists (and France) bent on our destruction.
WWII: U.S., UK on winning side.
WOT: U.S., UK kicking ass and taking names.
WWII: Left-wing idiots protest against war.
WOT: Left-wing Liberal protest war.
Yes I can see a comparison. But many canât!
