The speech

I'd like to comment on W's speech tonight with a dose of reality.

In his speech, Bush painted a rosie picture in Iraq hoping to get better approval rating and better support, but the american people who are waking up to the lies we were told in the buildup to the war.

Bush again tried to link Iraq to the war on terror which anyone who read the 9/11 commission report would know that these are two separate wars and this was not provoked in anyway that Bush just wanted the oil in Iraq and to give Cheney's Halliburton (follow the money) no bid contracts so they can get billions of tax-payer dollars

And another point Dubya tried to make is how "We are improving roads and schools and health clinics. We're working to improve basic services like sanitation, electricity and water. And together with our allies, we will help the new Iraqi government deliver a better life for its citizens."

Now it's funny how we have such poor roads and schools and healthcare and Bush isn't doing a thing about but I guess there isn't anything at stake here in the United States so he can ignore that.

Also from the speech "They are trying to shake our will in Iraq, just as they tried to shake our will on September 11, 2001. They will fail."

Mr. Bush to disagree with you, the terrorists are not "shaking our will in Iraq" you are. YOU are the reason we are there and YOU will take the fall

And something he didn't say to the soldiers which is if they come back, their benefits are cut and if they are lucky they can get an appointment at a V.A. hospital 6 months after they call.

This is again a disaster and is not decreasing terror but increasing terror. The best solution is send our men and women home so we can secure our own borders!
