The President's Speech - Redux

Another thing that bothered me about this speech that bothered me was the emphasis on how we can't just abandon Iraq. We must be strong and fight through the difficulties.

Um...NO KIDDING! there is a general acceptance that we HAVE to stay because we'll see civil war if we left now. most people that think the president should be impeached because of his actions still believe that we now cannot leave Iraq. THAT is why it is insulting for bush's speech and his "Plan" is to stay in iraq and 'work hard'.

Really? no kidding?

THAT isn't the problem with the President. the Problem is that the WAY we're going about this has worked poorly and everyone but the President seems to see that. God knows we don't want him to say he's wrong. we'd be stupid to expect that. what we don't want is a description of the war that implies a detachment from reality. that makes us nervous.

We don't need you to tell us we're stuck in Iraq for a while, Mr. President. we watch the news, even if you don't. i know its hard. just quit lying to us...and if you can't do that...well...could you quit lying to yourself?
