"Across the broader Middle East, the extremists are fighting to prevent such a future. Yet America has confronted evil before, and we have defeated it – sometimes at the cost of thousands of good men in a single battle. When Franklin Roosevelt vowed to defeat two enemies across two oceans, he could not have foreseen D-Day and Iwo Jima – but he would not have been surprised at the outcome. When Harry Truman promised American support for free peoples resisting Soviet aggression, he could not have foreseen the rise of the Berlin Wall – but he would not have been surprised to see it brought down. Throughout our history, America has seen liberty challenged, and every time, we have seen liberty triumph with sacrifice and determination."

The clarity and directness of the speech has Tony Snow's stamp all over it.
Thank you Tony and thank you Mr. President.

Now please protect our borders.

Thumbsucking Rats think they will take over, fat chance.

The Rats can't be trusted with the defense of our country

Their history proves that point

Hehe! He specifically mentioned breaking down 'the wall' we just witnessed in the movie.

LOL! I noticed that too. :)

Though of course Clinton and hardly anyone else, except for, oh, say, 13 million people in the U.S. alone (I've been watching), are watching the show. ;)

It's an honorable speech, and he's given it before in other ways and other places. Democrats and MSM dismiss it as politics. Our enemies don't care.

I couldn't help but think how the Clintons would have dramatized the three solemn sites for their own glorification.

I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me.........

"At the start of this young century, America looks to the day when the people of the Middle East leave the desert of despotism for the fertile gardens of liberty – and resume their rightful place in a world of peace and prosperity. We look to the day when the nations of that region recognize that their greatest resource is not the oil in the ground – but the talent and creativity of their people. We look to the day when moms and dads throughout the Middle East see a future of hope and opportunity for their children. And when that good day comes, the clouds of war will part - the appeal of radicalism will decline - and we will leave our children with a better and safer world. On this solemn anniversary, we rededicate ourselves to this cause. Our Nation has endured trials and we face a difficult road ahead. Winning this war will require the determined efforts of a unified country. So we must put aside our differences, and work together to meet the test that history has given us. We will defeat our enemies, we will protect our people, and we will lead the 21st century into a shining age of human liberty."

Is that the Iranian symbol for owing $40,000 in back child support? A request to get a head instead of ahead?

Yeah. Like a mortal man who is doing what he truly senses is best for the country -- with no qualms about being too politically correct.
