Great job Mr. Bush thanks for making America safer. My family and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You know Ronald Reagans looking down from heaven with a smile.

God Bless America!

Here are the excerpts:

On the heroism of Americans:

“On 9/11, our Nation saw the face of evil. Yet on that awful day, we also witnessed something distinctly American: ordinary citizens rising to the occasion, and responding with extraordinary acts of courage.”

“We face an enemy determined to bring death and suffering into our homes. America did not ask for this war, and every American wishes it were over. So do I. But the war is not over – and it will not be over until either we or the extremists emerge victorious. If we do not defeat these enemies now, we will leave our children to face a Middle East overrun by terrorist states and radical dictators armed with nuclear weapons. We are in a war that will set the course for this new century – and determine the destiny of millions across the world.”

“This struggle has been called a clash of civilizations. In truth, it is a struggle for civilization. We are fighting to maintain the way of life enjoyed by free nations. And we are fighting for the possibility that good and decent people across the Middle East can raise up societies based on freedom, and tolerance, and personal dignity.”

“By standing with democratic leaders and reformers, by giving voice to the hopes of decent men and women, we are offering a path away from radicalism. And we are enlisting the most powerful force for peace and moderation in the Middle East: The desire of millions to be free.”

“Our Nation has endured trials – and we face a difficult road ahead. Winning this war will require the determined efforts of a unified country. So we must put aside our differences, and work together to meet the test that history has given us. We will defeat our enemies ... we will protect our people ... and we will lead the 21st century into a shining age of human liberty.”

A speech taken from the heart.    One of his better speeches.    No more Andy Card meant no more rehashed speeches.

it was a good speech. I only caught one stutter. he was on his game, but then again he has been on his game lately in his speeches about the war.

I thought there were several lines in his speech that flowed perfectly with the Path to 9/11 that was interruped for the speech.

That kind of timing can't be a coincidence can it Karl?

karl rove strikes again.

This what he is good at. I don't believe he is winning the war of public opinion though. If you liked him, you still do. If you don't you still don't. The President has to do alot better than that in a time of War. Didn't he campaign on being some kind of Uniter????? happened to that? 

I know! Partisans suck. Thats what happened.
