What did you think of Bush's speech tonight?

Answer 1

I thought it was well written. He touched on all the issues in the paper recently (banking, nsa). He stated his stance and the reasons for it. I need to think about it longer, but it was at least a good political speech.

Answer 2

im in canada born an raised i watched the whole speech , this is the greastest struggle freedom has faced in 60 yrs . bush has made a difference as small as some people say he has gotten America involved you cannot change anything if u dont get involved ..... if we as a civilization do not preach freedom instead of radicalism then our children will fight the war when we had clear message 5yrs ago ...... its scary to think what the world will be like in 2008 ,, not to think 20 yrs from now ... i think of joining the canadain armed forces on a daily baisis on the sole reason that on sept 11 these monsters showed they desire mass muder on a over whelming scale and that the 21st century is going to be a difining era in which freedom will be brought to the world ......................

Answer 3

Pathetic as usual.

Can you imagine if his monitor would have gone on the blink like it did when President Clinton addressed the nation? Clinton's monitor went down for 9 straight minutes.. and neither viewers OR the media knew until it was reported on the AP later.

That's because he --- unlike Mr. Bush --- not only wrote the majority of his own speeches --- but he actually spoke from the heart.

Bush is a partisan hack that says whatever he has to to appease his "base"

BARF.

Answer 4

Did he make another speech? Did he say anything that he hasn't said in the last 200 speeches?

Answer 5

Didn't I just see this question 15 minutes ago?

The speech was brilliant, as always and it made the Democrats whine.

Answer 6

That FBI Special Investigator Robert Wright claims that agents assigned to intelligence operations actually protect terrorists from investigation and prosecution, that the FBI shut down his probe into terrorist training camps, and that he was removed from a money-laundering case that had a direct link to terrorism, sounds like yet more sour grapes from a disgruntled employee.

That George Bush had plans to invade Afghanistan on his desk before 9/11 demonstrates only the value of being prepared.

The suggestion that securing a pipeline across Afghanistan figured into the White House’s calculations is as ludicrous as the assertion that oil played a part in determining war in Iraq.

That Afghanistan is once again the world’s principal heroin producer is an unfortunate reality, but to claim the CIA is still actively involved in the narcotics trade is to presume bad faith on the part of the agency.

Mahmood Ahmed, chief of Pakistan’s ISI, must not have authorized an al Qaeda payment of $100,000 to Mohammed Atta days before the attacks, and was not meeting with senior Washington officials over the week of 9/11, because I didn’t read anything about him in the papers.
That the standing order which covered the shooting down of hijacked aircraft was altered on June 1, 2001, taking discretion away from field commanders and placing it solely in the hands of the Secretary of Defense, is simply poor planning and unfortunate timing. Fortunately the error has been corrected, as the order was rescinded shortly after 9/11.

That in the weeks before 9/11, FBI agent Colleen Rowley found her investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui so perversely thwarted that her colleagues joked that bin Laden had a mole at the FBI, proves the stress-relieving virtue of humour in the workplace.

That Dave Frasca of the FBI’s Radical Fundamentalist Unit received a promotion after quashing multiple, urgent requests for investigations into al Qaeda assets training at flight schools in the summer of 2001 does appear on the surface odd, but undoubtedly there's a good reason for it, quite possibly classified.

That FBI informant Randy Glass, working an undercover sting, was told by Pakistani intelligence operatives that the World Trade Center towers were coming down, and that his repeated warnings which continued until weeks before the attacks, including the mention of planes used as weapons, were ignored by federal authorities, is simply one of the many "What Ifs" of that tragic day.

That over the summer of 2001 Washington received many urgent, senior-level warnings from foreign intelligence agencies and governments - including those of Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Afghanistan and others - of impending terror attacks using hijacked aircraft and did nothing, demonstrates the pressing need for a new Intelligence Czar.

That John Ashcroft stopped flying commercial aircraft in July 2001 on account of security considerations had nothing to do with warnings regarding September 11, because he said so to the 9/11 Commission.

Answer 7

I got through approx. 45 seconds before changing the channel. It didn't help that it was led into by the "path to 9/11" movie on ABC, which I am pretty sure Dick Cheney was behind if you didn't catch all the pro-Cheney propoganda splattered throughout the last half.

Answer 8
