Is it possible that the President isn't exposing all the details for the protection of a witness? All of the "PlameGame" stuff is easily proven false and the reports I posted regarding Libya buying the Uranium for Iraq in a joint nuclear program seems legit. One of the reports says that Bush and Blair were going to expose the whole Iraqi scientists in Libya and the Uranium sales for Iraq from Niger in September 2004, right before the election. The only event that I can think of that happened during that time is the delay of Saddam's trial. Maybe they are waiting for the trial to protect their star witness.

The "meat" of Bush's speech at Tobyhanna from Michelle Malkin:

"While it is perfectly legitimate to criticize my decision or the conduct of the war, it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began. Some Democrats and anti-war critics are now claiming we manipulated the intelligence and misled the American people about why we went to war. These critics are fully aware that a bipartisan Senate investigation found no evidence of political pressure to change the intelligence community's judgments related to Iraq's weapons programs. They also know that intelligence agencies from around the world agreed with our assessment of Saddam Hussein.

"They know the United Nations passed more than a dozen resolutions citing his development and possession of weapons of mass destruction. Many of these critics supported my opponent during the last election, who explained his position to support the resolution in the Congress this way: 'When I vote to give the President of the United States the authority to use force, if necessary, to disarm Saddam Hussein, it is because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a threat, and a grave threat, to our security.' That's why more than 100 Democrats in the House and the Senate, who had access to the same intelligence voted to support removing Saddam Hussein from power.

"The stakes in the global War on Terror are too high, and the national interest is too important, for politicians to throw out false charges. These baseless attacks send the wrong signal to our troops and to an enemy that is questioning America's will. As our troops fight a ruthless enemy determined to destroy our way of life, they deserve to know that their elected leaders who send them to war continue to stand behind them. Our troops deserve to know that this support will remain firm when the going gets tough. And our troops deserve to know that whatever our differences in Washington, our will is strong, our Nation is united, and we will settle for nothing less than victory."

This should be just the beginning of the Commiecrats getting their comupence and just desserts.
Glad it's finally started. I too have had just about enough of their lies. And they accuse the President of misleading the American people. I think the public is fixing to learn exactly who has been misleading who.

This from an E-mail I just got today from the Federalist Patriot.
Don't have a link to it. It's probably reprinted on their website somewhere but I couldn't find the exact wording the e-mail carried.

Of course, the Reuters article focuses on President Bush slamming Kerry and party, while completely ignoring the rest of the speech:


Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada, who also voted for the war, charged that Bush was resorting "to his old playbook of discredited rhetoric about the war on terror and political attacks as his own political fortunes and credibility diminish."

Sen. Edward Kennedy (news, bio, voting record), a Massachusetts Democrat who voted against the war, called Bush's speech a "campaign-like attempt to rebuild his own credibility by tearing down those who seek the truth about the clear manipulation of intelligence in the run up to the Iraq war."

White House spokesman Scott McClellan tried to turn the tables on Kennedy, saying he chose "Veterans Day to continue leveling baseless and false attacks that send the wrong signal to our troops and our enemy during a time of war."

He said Kennedy has "found more time to say negative things about President Bush then he ever did about Saddam Hussein."


I especially like the part about Scott McClellan trying to turn the tables on Kennedy. Unbiased, much?

Rush's comments.

"It almost looks like there's a civil war in Congress between conservative Republicans -- 90 to 95% of the Republicans in Congress -- and the RINO Republicans who are using what they perceive to be the president's weakness to gut the conservative agenda."

“I think the president deserves our total support now and needs it. I know that some of you think leadership has been lacking and there hasn't been a lot, but sometimes you don't wait for leaders. Sometimes you become one.”

“This whole speech was, without saying so, an attempt to refute the lies and the revisionist history that is being put out by the left.”

“Don't go to the mainstream press to find any validation. You're going to have to learn to validate yourselves. If you have an opinion this was a good speech and you like it, stick with it, because you're not going to find that anywhere else in the mainstream big media.”
“The history of the holiday is one thing, but the reason for it is another. Two hundred and thirty years is not a lot of time in the scope of recorded history, yet during that span the idea that people are capable of governing themselves if they have the will to defend their freedom has transformed the world.”

“The profound impact of freedom on billions of lives is impossible to calculate. So, too, is freedom's cost.”

“No other nation in the history of this world has given so many sons and daughters to defend the freedom of others, too often without thanks from those they liberate. So to our American veterans, each one of you -- and to the memory of those who came before you -- thank you, and from all of us, God bless you.”

“I think we're just going to have to listen here to everything the media says and assume the opposite. The Katrina-Mary Mapes media.”

“The Jordanians are saying, ‘Burn in hell, Zarqawi!’ It's just refreshing to see people who get it. Here their country has just been bombed and they're mad at the guys who did it. They're not mad at the king, they're not mad at anybody else, they're mad at the people who did it. But the American left in this country cannot get mad at the perps, at the terrorists, at the people who commit these crimes against us.”

“Unrelenting propaganda has its impact. That's all the Democrats have been, that's what the liberal effort has been from day one. And what's been unacceptable and disappointing up to this point is the refusal, the unwillingness of the White House to fight back, and the unwillingness of congressional Republicans to fight back.”
