I watched President Bush’s speech tonight (if you missed it, read it here) and I have to say that I was quite pleased. As usual he said all the right things. He essentially went through, point by point, each of the criticisms that have been leveled against action in Iraq. As he did in his UN speech, he carefully detailed Saddam’s history, behavior, and WMD fetish and development. He listed the atrocities Saddam has committed, the lies he’s told, the weapons he’s developed, and made it clear that the Iraqi people will be better off without him. I think it’s something the American people need to hear. I love the way Bush uses the Bully Pulpit. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed that the networks couldn’t take some time out of their vapid sitcoms in order to broadcast the speech. Yeah, the world’s changed, but let’s not interrupt Drew Carry.
