#1 I watched it, I liked it. GW did a good job of speechifying. Pelosi looked like she was chewing a mouthful of worms.

#5 IMO it was good. I wished he'd do a weekly fire side chat to the country in order to combat all the b.s. the media throws out. More personal stories about all the good stuff going on as many service folks can attest to. Plus, I'd love just once for him or Tony Snow to call out some journo-prick or paper by name and sarcastically whip them ala Dennis Miller style for reporting or editorializing some half-truth about iraq.

#7 Good speach, well-delivered. Nice shot of Queen Hillary with a scowl on her face at on of W's suggestions.

I see the Dem's response was prepared in advance, so it wasn't really a 'response', was it. Just another excuse to pontificate.

#8 So, did our president mention the border fence last night ?
I didn't listen. But I did find that he missed a great, GREAT chance to belittle the democrats who sat on their hands after mention of victory in Iraq.

My speech....The war on terror is multifaceted. From our borders, to the phone conversations of Islamic radicals, to the war zones, to a variety of locations experiencing terrorism, back to America in the form of comfort and support offered by the media and legal counsels. We must fight and win on all fronts. We must win back the media, the New York Times, CNN, and others. We must win the loyalty of all of our politicians, and all of our citizens to defeat terrorism. We must define the enemy and take the fight to them. We must smash al Qaeda, smash the Taliban, smash Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, even CAIR. And to do so, we must not allow the ACLU or the Washington Post to stand in our way. We must win the war in Afghanistan, and win the war in Iraq.

Then, as no democrat stood and cheered, the POTUS should have pointed to them, and said, 'This is what I'm talking about. Our enemies are delighted when we show a divided America. We MUST stand united behind our soldiers, or give up being the America we all grew up in. Which is it ? Win or lose ?
