i thought he did a good job of getting the point across

9/11/2001 8:35:03 PM

he just started, Brett...

9/11/2001 8:35:36 PM

SHouldn't you wait til its finished? He just started.......

9/11/2001 8:35:54 PM

He has done a great job.... thus far

9/11/2001 8:36:17 PM

my fault...i mean i think he is doing a good job...i meant to put it was going good

9/11/2001 8:37:05 PM

we will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed this act and those who harbor them.... strong warning to the Taliban to give up Osama

Also....according to Congressional sources....the Administration is confident that Osama Bin Laden is responsible for this

9/11/2001 8:37:36 PM

it was good...I like the part when he said he would hold the terrorists and those harboring the terrorists responsible

9/11/2001 8:37:42 PM

just said thousands of lifes lost

9/11/2001 8:37:47 PM

"we will not only go after those who did it, but those who harbor them"


thats what i wanted to hear.

9/11/2001 8:37:59 PM

YOU CANNOT DENT THE STEEL OF AMERICA!

9/11/2001 8:38:29 PM

I thought he did a great job

9/11/2001 8:38:30 PM

and I bet when the cameras went off of air, he said...

"WE WILL KICK YO ASS"

"As we walk through the shadow of death, He will be with me.."

9/11/2001 8:38:41 PM

"our military is strong, and prepared"

good address

9/11/2001 8:38:44 PM

I think he said just about the only thing he could have said. There really isn't a lot of leeway as to how a President could handle something like this.

9/11/2001 8:38:52 PM

i thought that the prayer part was reassuring

9/11/2001 8:39:25 PM

I just wanted to see him pull an InsaneMan...

That would've been cool.

9/11/2001 8:39:42 PM

I wanted it to be stronger, but I am very happy with the statement about those who harbor the terrorists. Basically he is saying that if any country does not give up the terrorists, we are going to attack that country.

9/11/2001 8:39:54 PM

xienze, thats the first time i've laughed all day. thanks

I appreciate that and highly recommend you listen to InsaneMan's music... he is a true artist .

9/11/2001 8:41:08 PM

i thought he did well. there really wasnt much anything else that he could of said

And sadly, this means that we are basically preparing to go to war with Afghanistan.

That part sent chills up my spine

9/11/2001 8:43:53 PM

not sweet
I don't like death and destruction

9/11/2001 8:44:31 PM

I'm still not a fan of Bush, I never have been. But I totally support whatever he decides to do with this. Even if I don't like him personally, he's our President, and we all need to follow and respect his actions at this time.

9/11/2001 8:45:51 PM

the wonderful nature of US moral, we can rally around someone we might hate, because we are americans, and we have pride in our country

This would not be much of a war. Kind of like what we did to Iraq. The goal this time has to be to kill all those responsible instead of leaving the situation like we left Iraq. These people are more dangerous to our well-being.

9/11/2001 8:47:49 PM

good call nrallen! that is what is great about this country...when we are supposed to be down...we get up even more and unite!

Better than constantly going to war with ourselves because we can't rally around the nation.

i wasnt being sarcastic at all bart, if you thought that i was being it

i debated weather inluding star spangled banner lyics and other songs in that post, but realized that the conversation would have moved too fast

9/11/2001 8:50:16 PM

i think that was one of the best speeches ever...you know it had to be good...i mean we are going to be telling our kids about this day and they are going to read it in textbooks

9/11/2001 8:55:45 PM

i wouldnt say it was the best

JFK, FDR, Lincoln, and some others put out some kick ass speaches

9/11/2001 8:57:01 PM

its probably the best since JFK's "ask not" speech.

9/11/2001 8:58:10 PM

One of the best speeches ever? Get the fuck outta here. How long did it last? Like five minutes? And it was all rhetoric ("blah blah blah, you can dent steel, but you can't dent the heart of the American people") and ONE key phrase: "We will not differentiate between terrorists and those who harbor them". That's it.

which is why you should support the action the US will be taking. would you rather kill 50 people and stop one of the worst terrorist groups in the world, or leave them alone and have this happen again

9/11/2001 8:58:32 PM

yeah but i was talking about in our lifetimes...i guess i forgot that part

9/11/2001 8:58:32 PM

not the greatest ever, but it was good, and it got the message across. now, tony blair's speech.. kickass.

9/11/2001 8:59:24 PM

i didnt catch it... y'know where i can find it online?

9/11/2001 9:00:28 PM

if not online, i'm sure they will replay it a couple of times

9/11/2001 9:01:05 PM

here's a news story about Blair's speach:

9/11/2001 9:03:02 PM

damn, i gotta find a soundbite of that... even that story gave me chills...

9/11/2001 9:06:05 PM

from Tony Blair's speech:

Quote :

"As for those that carried out these attacks, there are no adequate words of condemnation. Their barbarism will stand as their shame for all eternity. This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world. The people who perpetrate it have no regard whatsoever for the sanctity or value of human life. "

9/11/2001 9:07:28 PM

i hope we never have to go to war.....my biggest fear is having a war on american soil.....there hasnt been a war on american land since the civil war.....whoever created this chaos is obviously not afraid of us, and is definitely not afraid of hurting innocent americans again

9/11/2001 9:09:02 PM

it is just like pearl harbor...it is estimated that the number of casualties today is greater than that of pearl harbor

9/11/2001 9:10:24 PM

could possibly be larger than antietam (22k in one day), the most americans killed in one day. worse attack than pearl harbor...

9/11/2001 9:17:57 PM

has anyone heard the estimate of people killed? i hear they were going to announce it earlier but i never heard it

9/11/2001 9:18:44 PM

Senator Dianne Feinstein: "This is an act of war against the United States"

9/11/2001 9:31:56 PM

oreo, they wont know for a couple of days
