Yep, it was much shorter and said the same thing as the long Version

I prefered Agathon's summary
Bush speech last night was superb.
This isn't some petty partisan issue like healthcare or education. We are talking about our very survival as a free nation. We have to take the war on terror seriously. Contrary to the 9 dwarves running for the dem nomination, President Bush takes the security of the US seriously!'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

Laugh all you want, but your reaction is exactly why Dems will lose 2004. Even with 9-11 and 3,000 dead Americans, you still don't realize how dangerous terrorism is.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse

No, it wasn't. Or at least I hope it wasn't, since that's a piss poor reason not to go to war. It is unprincipled.Isn't that the whole reason most of us were against the war anyway? No plan for what was going to happen after Saddam was toppled.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Here's the same question I ask for every Bush's speech: What was the use ?
This speech won't convince any diplomatic team to invest troops in Iraq. Diplomatic efforts and concessions will do (I'm still waiting for my part of the loot
). This speech won't do anything on foreign public opinions, because nobody gives a ****.
Like for the other speeches, I suppose the only usefulness of this one os for American "patriots" to feel good, and to feel they're doing the right thing."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident
"I never had the need to have a boner." -- Dissident

You're quite right, Mr Diplomat. Only seventy-six and a half thousand more WTC-like events, and there'll be no America left. Stop the bastards now!Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?
