. I would encourage everyone to watch for those who don't or can't I'll try to post a transcript in the morning. While it may not be as good as say a Clinton or Reagan speech the President has gotten a bit better. Since we are at war I think we should at least give Mr. Bush our attention.
The looser in the Iranian election rails against that country's ruling clerics. Watch your head dude.
As always you should look for other sources, argue like crazy, post links and have a good time ladies and gentlemen. I have not had a lot of time to search for other links. And remember while the President and our government can start a war, make strategy, give us pep talks he is powerless to win the war. The power to win the war rests with all of us, especially men and women like this. Now comes the hardest part, just keeping it up.

in Iran, with the two fanatics who where running for the figurehead post of President, it didnt seem to really make any differnce who won as one was just as bad as the other....and besides, they are nothing more than yesmen to the mullahs who are the real power in Iran...the "elections" were nothing more than a ruse to keep the Iranian citizens in line by letting them feel that they have some say...yea, sureeeeeeee, like the madmullahs would really allow honest elections and im actually Pope Benidict.....and as for Operation Sword going on in the Anbar region of western Iraq i wish the US Marines the best of luck and kick those terrorists ass back into the river...yea, its funny though, CNN calls them insurgents and still insists that the majority of these insurgents are Iraqis when it seems that they are mostly Saudi and nothing is said about that by the MSM...guess so the MSM can claim that they arent terrorists but Iraqi freedom fighters..what a crock the MSM is....anything to trick the American public...smoke and mirrors, folks, smoke and mirrors

YBP: I expected as much from Kos and Black. While getting the government out of political discourse on the web is a common goal for all of us, (this should be a non-partisan issue) it appears that Kos and Black, especially, are more worried about their money than anything. How is it that these guys can take a perfectly legitimate gripe and turn it into some self-serving, self-aggrandizing issue? Knowing these two as well as we do, I have to wonder if they would be as gung-ho if their wallets weren't affected. And of course it's covered by a liberal AP writer, Sharon Theimer, who is only interested in quoting those who agree with her philosophy.

I wonder if Bush will dress up in military garb as he stands in front of the troops.
He's done it before, unlike any other American president. It is oddly reminiscent of Mao, Fidel, Hitler and the Duce.

Oyster: Very well said, sir.
Greg: Saw a news clip a while back pointing out (and showing) that several presidents have done this. Even Clinton!

well, if my memory serves me correct, the President is also the Commander in Chief of all US armed forces so its his right to appear in military dress if he so wishes when he apears in front of the troops....kind of like a Field Marshall i suppose

Yeah- pep talk. That will be great. No plans of course, bit I will be full of pep. Yippie.
YBP- lets see that picture of Clinton in a military uniform.
Bush is the ultimate chickenhawk- no wonder you guys love him. Gets out of serving and then has the gall to use a uniform as a prop. You and he should be ashamed.
So who wants to take a bet- his poll number slip even lower after this "pep" talk. Cause if that is all it is, people are going to be really pissed.

You are already pissed Max. Why should we care what you think since you've already made up your mind before even hearing the speech?

Max: It was a cap with some gold leaves on it, if memory serves me correctly. Perhaps a flight jacker? I'll check.

Max and interested parties: Damn I'm good. Scroll down and feast your eys on several presidents with pseudo-military garb--Clinton in a flight jacjet and with a military-type cap with leaves.

Poor Max. He thinks he's special. He thinks he should be told all their military secrets and plans to put his little mind at ease. Problem is - I don't think he realizes that to tell us is to tell the terrorists. Even though a third grader could figure that one out. And what good would it do us to give them our "plan" and "exit strategy"? Unless, of course, Max wants them to have that advantage.

Hey Oyster, did you see Clinton in neato uniform? I just wanted to salute the big guy.

YBP:
I can honestly say, that well done, I'll be interested to see their replies after such a spanking you applied with that url.

Thanks, Dave. It so seldom happens in life. Reminds me of that scene in "Annie Hall," where Woody Allen brings out Malcom McLaren to settle an argument.

YBP: Clinton was trying to play "big boy".
"See? I'm all for the military. Now hold on while I cut funding. Okay, there. Now what were you saying? I look dashing? I'm wearin' it to bed with Monica, er...Hillary tonite."
The man makes my skin crawl. He's a sociopath - and so is she.

Clinton was not as bad as what Bushie is trying to do. In a voice
like Bush, "I love our troops, that is why I am going to raise
the price that veterns have to pay just to see VA medical personnel from $0 to $250 dollars a year, and for prescriptions from $7 dollars to $28 dollars. But I tell you I just love our troops."
Bush loves only Bush.

Hey greg, dumbass, Bush was dressed in a flight suit. Because he was flying. You know, in an airplane. A military airplane. And he was also a pilot once, so ya see... oh, never mind. Shouldn't you be keeping watch for Black Helicopters™ or Evil Jooooos or something?

IM, you know damn well he wasn't riding in a aer-o-plane! He was riding a massive balls-of-steel-resolve camel toe into that joint!
