Im a republican and always will be.
But i cant believe that, in a time of radar and computer guided missles, we've lost 3000 soldiers in a piece of shiit country while being told we're "winning the war on terror".
I'd like to believe that, and i think i have to trust the President.
What did you think of that speech last night?

A whole lot of nothingness. Same old rhetoric. However, he did change the "Stay the course" line into something like "stay in the fight." As if no one would know the difference. I think the thing that makes me (and most other Americans) angrier than anything else is the fact that in 5 years we still haven't caught the SOB that attacked us. Instead, we invaded a country that had nothing to do with it and are now stuck in a quagmire for God knows how long. I am personally disgusted.
Oh yeah...I chuckled when he said that "the terrorists hate dissent." Wasn't it his own Secretary of Defense (Rumsfeld) that recently said that anyone who speaks out against the war are essentially Nazi appeasers? Who hates dissent? Who doesn't like to be told they may have been wrong? Hmmmm...
The terrorist must be stopped, I agree, but we went into the wrong country. If the terrorists will follow us if we pull out of Iraq, why not redeploy to Afghanistan so they will follow us there? That is where we are supposed to be anyway.

The Democratic national convention became replete with assaults on McCain as he and George Bush have been the comparable guy. it form of feels that no rely if that's a visceral attack made by ability of a Democrat, that's a case for exchange and battling for the rustic and if the comparable visceral attack is made by ability of a Republican that's stated as a visceral attack.

I'm not a Republican and never will be. But, the speech Bush gave last night was one of his better speeches. The issue of whether or not we should have invaded Iraq is moot. The fact is, now that we are there we have to support the Iraqi people until they can defend themselves. It's interesting to note that bus loads of Iraqis are still joining the Iraqi army despite being targets of terrorist attacks. I think that shows the Iraqi people want peace in their country as much as we do.

Honestly I didn't watch. I can't stomach him anymore. I knew he would invoke 9/11 as justification for Iraq and from what I've hear that's exactly what he did, at the same time saying that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.
In the end I wouldn't be impressed no matter what he said. All that matters to me are his actions and no speech is going to erase his track record over the past 6 years.

It was good...but obviuously he is preaching to the choir to some people and the others hate him so much that he could've shown top secret pictures, videos and all the proof he has and they still would complain about him...I don't remeber crying this much when Clinton was in office, but I didn't like it either...but at least I didn't sit around crying about it all day like the crybaby librals do...

As a country, you have won nothing.
You have gained millions more possible terrorists by your actions in Iraq and your lack thereof in Lebanon.
You have lost the sympathy and respect of most people on the planet.
Your citizens are made irrational with fear, so they don't protest about loss of privacy and freedom, if it's sold to them as "necessary for security"
Your country has a staggering national debt.
You have lost thousands of soldiers and destroyed hundred thousands of civilians, directly or indirectly.
And still you trust the gouvernment that's responsible for this

Were not winning were losing because this war isnt about terror and all we are doing by occupying areas where people dont want us is creating more. As for him using 9/11 as a medium for his poitical agenda... IT SICKENS ME

If you trust your president, you are seriously deluded.
Your soldiers are being killed because they have invaded a Country where they are not wanted and I think a lot of people would think America is the 'piece of ****' country rather than Iraq.

I think Bush likes the sound of his own voice!
His speech was full of his usual BS!
Personally, if it's raining outside and I don't already know it, he couldn't tell me...nothing!
