I respectfully submit that it is not beside the point, because the author did not assert anything. She hasn't the courage to do that. She tried to get her manekin-doll Bush to assert something that the real Bush did not say because she is a coward.

I was referring to her assertions as faux-arguments concerning the President's speech on idealistic grounds.
Let's see if we get an answer.
