The President's Speech

It's about time! Finally the President to going to do what he should have done.

Our past efforts to secure Baghdad failed for two principal reasons: There were not enough Iraqi and American troops to secure neighborhoods that had been cleared of terrorists and insurgents. And there were too many restrictions on the troops we did have. Our military commanders reviewed the new Iraqi plan to ensure that it addressed these mistakes

Boy, I really got frustrated with Bush because we worrying too much about how people thought of us and we got too bogged down trying to fight a PC war. It's about time we let our forces go after the jihadis and insurgents without worrying about the legalities or supposed sensitivities if we have to go into mosques or other areas.

Succeeding in Iraq also requires defending its territorial integrity – and stabilizing the region in the face of the extremist challenge. This begins with addressing Iran and Syria. These two regimes are allowing terrorists and insurgents to use their territory to move in and out of Iraq. Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops. We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq.

Wahhoooo! I am so glad he mention these two. I hope he really means that he's going to take on Iran and Syria. I'm tired of all the diplo-talk.

Honorable people have different views, and they will voice their criticisms. It is fair to hold our views up to scrutiny. And all involved have a responsibility to explain how the path they propose would be more likely to succeed.

Fine! The Democrats disagree with the President. The President has already outlined the bloody carnage that would happen if we left. We have to stay. What ideas do the Democrats have to win the war?

Fellow citizens: The year ahead will demand more patience, sacrifice, and resolve. It can be tempting to think that America can put aside the burdens of freedom. Yet times of testing reveal the character of a Nation. And throughout our history, Americans have always defied the pessimists and seen our faith in freedom redeemed. Now America is engaged in a new struggle that will set the course for a new century. We can and we will prevail

American get off your fat, lazy ass and make the sacrifices that our forefathers made to give you such a comfortable life. You need to make the same sacrifices to insure that our children continue to enjoy the benefits of living in America.
