Did Pres speak already? Ohhh, hope I didn’t miss it

[Tears of a Clown]

Watching him now, a great speech. he looks very animated.

This is what we need him to do, call out the media for saying that “anbar was lost” and all the good news no one talks about.

[tobyhill]

He just authorized our military to take action against Tehran.

Bush calling out liberals. Saying they changed the debate after the security started looking better.

“Americans know how hard a democracy can be, we still can’t pass a balanced budget and we’ve had 200 years of practice”

“Iraq’s leaders arn’t perfect, but they were elected, and they all work for a free iraq”

“We need reasons to help the iraqi people, not excuses for abandoning them”

“I know its hard to see, but what happen on the streets of baghdad and anbar province have a direct impact on the security of america”

Thanks. Fox usually broadcasts Pres speeches.....but, I’ve had Fox on since early this morning and Pres not on...

[tobyhill]

Fox was busy showing the dingbat from the Miss Teen pageant.

Is that a joke?

[hawkaw]

He did?

[tobyhill]

No, it’s not a joke.

[tobyhill]

yes he did.

[CDHart]

Are you serious?

Carolyn

[tobyhill]

Yes, I’m serious.

[hawkaw]

I can’t believe how little play this speech and this particular presidential authorization is being given on this db.

[CDHart]

I'm at work - don't even have speakers on this computer. Exactly what did he say?

[tobyhill]

I’m waiting on the transcript but let me give it a shot, I have authorized the military take action against those in Tehran. He was referring to those creating instability.

[tobyhill]

The media is playing, if you ignore it it will go away.

[CDHart]

Please ping me if you find a transcript - thanks!

That is a great speech ineed, thank you for the quotes.

[Tears of a Clown]

Thanks. Most of them are paraphrases though, i tried to type down more as they came but I’m not a fast typer (typist?)

I just wish he would say more of this stuff, instead of letting the MSM get away with shaming the mission and demoralizing the troops at every turn. Then again when he has speeches like this the MSM barely even covers it...
