    "Forced into war"... You know, Iraq isn't exactly <I>jumping</I> to push us into a war. No no, you see, that's what Bush is doing.

    Silly Bush, leadership is for people with worldly knowledge!

    Now the Dems. Just heard that Kennedy wants Bush to return to Congress if he wants to start a war with Iraq...

    That isn't showing me evidence. Telling me to find it myself is not showing me the evidence.

    Don't be an ass. I told you I couldn;t find it. That means I can;t argue any further. Relax.

    You conveniently can't find it. Say you have evidence without making sure you actually have the evidence. Sounds bush-like to me, Mr. BUSH!

    I don't have it on hand. That doesn't mean I don't have it. It exists somewhere in slashdot archives. This war with Iraq- the proof is in no such place.

    Just some notes during the speech I took.



    Bush seems to avoid the Iraq situation in the beginning. He talked about the budget issues to much applause from the republicans but from sitting silence on the Democrats side. ?Federal Budgets should not rise faster than the paychecks of the American families? He talks about social security being safe, High quality affordable health care for all Americans (applause from D?s and R?s). Bush scores big points on partisan stance on health care. ?Good insurance policies, chose your own doctor, no beauracracy.? (Mass ovation from all.) Bush seems set on putting health care reform into action now. Surprisingly to me, Bush talked about energy conservation and technology to decrease dependance on foreign energy resources. Environmentalism, Health Care, and Budgeting issues seem to be circling around and keeping attention off of Iraq. 1.2 Billion in R&D for developing clean hydrogen powered automobiles ?take cars from labs to show rooms.? George W Bush is very no nonsense, he seems very honest in what he is saying. He sounds as if he is marking a lot of money to be used in his budget plan. Government spending at least sounds like it is going up. Brings up issue of abortion, wants to end partial birth abortion?wants sto pass law against all human cloning. Applause on the human cloning issue , applause from R?s on partial birth abortion. ?our calling as a blessed country is to make the world better.? I think everybody was waiting for Iraq to be the main issue but people seem to forget the amazing scope of the other issues that face our world. I think this State of the Union Address is not just a wake up call to the people of America and the news media but a realization in that what Bush is saying is true. The HIV plan to help Africans sounds very good in the fight to turn the tide against the overwhelmingly infectious disease. He talks about the war on terrorism and seems as if America is stomping out threats all over the world. He proposed a measure to be taken to make immunities available for bio terror or war which is something that I think is a good and necessary measure to be taken, as he says ?we must assume our enemies will use bio weapons against us.? ?free people will set the course of history? Brings up Iraq, ?they must disarm? ?Saddam gives no evidence of destroying all of his chemical agents. Clearly has much to hid, deceives, hides documents, sanitizes inspection sights. Intimidates witnesses? I am ssurprised by the partisan response to the comments on the Iraq crisis. I actually cant believe it. Everyone is applauded like there is no tomorrow. Maybe that?s why they are applauding so hard.

    I doubt that his mind processes thoughts that clearly. I mean really, they're in complete sentences and everything!

    Hmm. Perhaps...since she will be up for re-election in 2012 anyway because of a possible win in 2008, she may be able to pull off a first-term victory in 2012 too. I don't see any later than that though. We're talking about ending two terms in either 2016 or 2020. That's mind-boggling to me being only 19. But come on, she'll be 70 or close to it! That's pushing it to me. I say no later than what you said before- 2008/2012.

    When you point the finger at someone else you have three pointing back at yourself.
