It made me happy all day long to hear the president at his very best. It was fantastic and gave a level of detail most Americans have never heard.

The speech will help invest Americans in the war, imo, in a way they had not been invested before. During other wars, we were asked to sacrifice something or help in some way. This time, I think a lot of Americans are looking for ways to help and it would be great if a Republican would come forward with ideas about that too.

Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed says President Bush's speech on the status of the war in Iraq fell far short of what it needed to be.

So embarrasing. Can't believe I live in such a liberal state.

What was so impressive about the speech was his complete command of the facts, and his clear plan for victory, there was no Grey area in today's speech, the message was clear. WE WIN, AND THEY LOSE!

It was also a speech that made it clear that if any elected official backed the plan for PREMATURE withdraw, they were surrendering to the Terrorists and placing this nation in grave danger.

I also like the fact that the President is asking fro 3.5 Billion dollars for supplemental reconstruction funds for Iraq... This will force the Democrats to show their hand once again, just like they did when they called for the vote on whether to pull out of Iraq :-)

George W. Bush gave the Democrats lots of rope to hang themselves with and now it's time to walk the plank for the Democrats :-)
