The right of custom brings us together at a defining hour, when decisions are hard, and courage is needed.

Our citizens don't much care which side of the aisle we sit on, as long we are willing to cross that aisle when there's work to be done.

This war is more than a clash of arms, it is a decisive ideological struggle, and the security of our nation is in the balance.
| Quote: |
For America this is a nightmare scenario. For the enemy, this is the objective...Ladies and gentleman, nothing is more important in this moment in our history than to succeed in the Middle East, to succeed in Iraq, and to spare the American people from this danger.

Tonight I ask the Congress to authorize an increase in the size of our military core by 92,000 troops in the next five years.

This is where matters stand tonight, in the here and now.

The President was noticably uncomfortable, scanning the crowd hoping for friendly faces among the images of strangers. The above quotes are only a small fraction of the speech he delivered. There are no absolutely correct stances in a job like his, and he must do his best to find the maximal benefit as he sees it.
So, what are your thoughts and reactions? Discuss. It's pronounced nucular.

I think he missed an opportunity to bring up ANWAR if he really want to cut foreign oil dependence....

You could almost feel the tension tugging between Pelosi and Cheney as they sat behind our President.
You could also practically hear the words coming from George W.'s earpiece.
Another load of BS.
Cute how they placed Dikembe Mutumbo next to the little asian lady when they cut towards the audience.

My guess would be that he'll mention whichever it is (or both) sometime before 2017. Two thousand seventeen...

The president did allude to an inevitible North American Union. |

Be bi-partisan... agree with me.
