Bush’s speech
The Political Teen has the video.
There was of course nothing new in the speech. It needed to be said again though. At times Bush appeared almost frustrated about having to explain all of this again, and I simpathize with that.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that a deadline for leaving Iraq is a very bad idea (some Senators seem to have a tough time with this concept though).
It is clear to everyone who is paying attention that we are making progress. And it should be fully clear, that whether or not Iraq was a key battle in the war on terror when we invaded (and I think it was) it is a key battlefield now, and failure there is not an option.
The most important thing Bush said was that we won’t give up on his watch. It was for this reason that I supported him so strongly for President in the last election.
