Speaking of kooks, did anyone catch the CSPAN press conference of Press for the Truth with some family members wanting to press for yet another investigation? They want the truth about 911?

After listing to them, I want to come up with my own theory. I say it was a mass alien abduction. I have proof and will make it all know at the proper time. ;-)

And we will damn well do something about that. We have NOT lost and we WILL NOT lose!

i am in no way a pak. apologist, but from everything i have read, musharraf (sp) is walking a fine line domestically. There have been multiple attempts to kill him, and presumably if he pushes too far too much, he will indeed be killed. For bush, the question is what can replace musharraf that would be stable and more favorable to the united states? I honestly don't know what junta or government party that would be.

President Bush's speeches are under-appreciated. I think this speech is really typical of him, and I'm glad that he has been doing this a lot lately. So much substance and insight put into plain terms that anyone should understand, if they're not too arrogant to listen. I really feel lucky to have a president with such an intellectual grip on the issue, and it is all the more striking when comparing it to the aggressive ignorance expressed so much in the big media.

I don't expect anyone to match Bush as the leader of the WOT. And surely any Democrat would be very dangerous at this point. But for any decent Republican good enough to get his party's nomination, I think the public war weariness would be more of an influence on the campaign (in emphasis) than on their governance once in office.

Very good speech by W. tonight. He said all the right things in the limited time he feels he can take.

With Bush's strong statements in recent weeks, I'm now paying attention to what he's saying again. Hope more voters are, too.

It's easy to say Iran is the most serious threat now. But we didn't have resolutions against Iran then, they weren't at the stage they are now or with that maniac in charge at the time. We were forced to look at Saddam's decade of threats about destroying our country and his noncompliance with agreements at the end of the Gulf War. We couldn't just take his word so we took action. If we had such a tough time with Iraq, what would we have had with Iran? We are forced to deal with the Middle East in particular because they live that culture of terrorism and those regimes offer the most likely place for al Qaeda, the terrorism that struck us on 9/11, to get WMD and deal a more severe blow. That's why Demonrats and the people that say only Bin Laden, Afghanistan are the problem got it all wrong because we have to be on offense and take out these barbarians.
