It doesn't matter what YOU think. The owner of this blog makes that decision.

#4 I hope that Bush will be remembered in years to come for that quote, rather than for the occasional "religion of peace" pablum he occasionally spits up.

#6 Let's hope they play it up loudly.
The only potential downside I see is "The mouse that roared" mentality, which I'd have to rate as highly unlikely.

In some ways, I think that may have been the most powerful American speech since Gettysburg.

#8 I watched the President say that great line at my liberal-leaning NYC law firm, and everyone in attendance agreed (a) that it was a great line that will join "Ask not . . ." and "The only thing we have to fear . . ." as an all time great Presidential line (what makes it all the more impressive is that it was off-the-cuff and spontaneous) and (b) it was the turning point of GWB's Presidency.

#9 "It doesn't matter what YOU think. The owner of this blog makes that decision."

But of course. Its theirs to delete, keep (bind and free:) ) etc. I meant that i wouldnt come in and post the word "peshawar" Since i tend to be the most vociferous about not liking domestic politics here, i meant to see that EVEN I think its on topic. I didnt mean to imply any authority whatsoever. Sorry if I was unclear.

#10 I didn't watch last night for some reason, but now I wish I had. Someone PLEASE post a link to the footage of that moment. I'm begging you.

#11 B-A-R: Relax, buddy. LH was responding in a friendly way to a comment and using his famous shorthand as a prop.

#12 Out of the mouths of babes. Kids are uber-cool... If only the various indoctrination machines would have a massive and simultaneous meltdown... Teach them the tools to analyze and discriminate, not the thoughts themselves. Sigh.

Clean unvarnished fact... awesome, kid!

Yeah... pretty good...

But does it compare to "WE START BOMBING IN TEN MINUTES"

Now that changed the world.

#14 "... We begin bombing in five minutes." was indeed a powerful comment, but I think that was more in terms of its shock value than as a motivational speech.

#15 You're right Dishman. Altho I think it might have motivated a few folks in Omaha.

#16 I still get chuckles out of that line.
