GWB hit this one out of the freakin' park. If you watched closely he even had that crusty old Democrat Sen. Byrd choking up.

Gore would still be trying to figure out what to do and checking with BC about how to do it. Given that BC didn't do s*** about this for 8 years.....

You said it, Indiana. I'm very proud of our president. Strength, calm, and most important, utter resolve is absolutely essential for us all in this crisis, and his only course is to lead by example. He delivered on all counts. Bravo, George.

**Helevitia** · 20 September 2001, 20:14

The speech was truely his best. Even though he sounds like an idiot most of the time and I didn't vote for him, I support hih as our President and I support his actions.

They say a man grows into the Presidency when challenged by a crisis. It happened with Kennedy with the Cuban missile crisis. It happened with Truman when Roosevelt died and he had WW-II dropped in his lap.

If George Bush meets and takes charge of *this* series of events he'll have quite a place in history;

the President who led the country through WW-III.

Make no mistake about it: if this war is as wide ranging and covers as much territory as it appears it will there is no other term that fits.

I tried to tell you guys that GWB was OK. I live in Texas and knew a little more about him than the average person. He isn't dumb like people like to say, he is just not one of those "slick" political guys that you are use to seeing. He is a very effective leader who will do the right thing for the country.

And I think he made it pretty clear, that is as far as we are concerned, that this is not about religion but about justice for the murder, and it can't be called anything else, of thousands of innocent lives around the world by a bunch of cowards.

It was simple & clear. That can be a good thing.

PS. I'm not about to say anything bad about Bush until the war is over.
My head may explode, but, I ain't sayin a word.

When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive." - President George W. Bush

I love this President he talks to the people, not the Technocrats..

Yeah, that one brought a chuckle here too.

In the farm region I grew up in it's called plain speakin'. Rare in politicians.

His comments when he visited the WTC site were in the same language, and the rescue workers loved it.

The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics; a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam.

Well said. I'm glad the people in D.C. have more than just a basic understanding of Islam. Now if only the American people can figure out that not all of Islam is bad.

I wonder what will happen when the US presents their evidence to the Taliban.

I haven't read that we are going to present evidence to the Taliban. We are going to present info to the Pakistanis. Hopefully, that will filter to the Taliban indirectly.

I think the next direct communication to the Taliban is going to be a smiley face painted on the nose cone of a cruise missle.

Sorry for the glib statement.

Maybe glib, but true. I think GWB's done talking to those idiots.

As for the US folks understanding Islam, the only folks around here that have a problem with understanding Islam are the delinquent types. But then they have trouble understanding most things requiring an IQ over 40.

The *GROWN UPS* have done business with the large Middle Eastern population in these parts for years (Detroit, Dearborn etc.) and have no problems with either the Muslim or Caldean folks. Period.

Many of them are our neighbors too, and good ones they are.

A LOT of those in our Islamic & Caldean community have already volunteered to help the FBI & CIA with translations in their efforts to root out the terrorist network. As soon as these agencies put out the request for help they were flooded with volunteers.

As a Canuck, I have a question about Bush: why does he seem to HATE Canada? What am I missing? He gives this great big speech about all these other countries that are the USA's friends, and doesn't mention once the country he shares the continent with. I'm told his dad didn't much care for us either.

The reason he mentioned the UK is because they had leaders come over for the speech.

I don't think that either one hates Canada, they don't even give the impression. I think some of it is projection.
