Just saw it two hours ago. I thought it was pretty good. He made what I thought was an important point in that the insurgents in Iraq today are hurting the Iraqi people more than anyone, and that the interim Iraqi government sees the insurgents as enemies to Iraq, not just the Coalition.

I also noticed there were a lot of Allied servicemen there. Off the top of my head, I believe I saw saw German, Japanese, and Polish military representatives, as well as one gentleman in British Desert DPM just behind George Bush during the speech. I also saw a representative of one of our Middle-Eastern allies (Saudi-Arabia, I think).

Anyway, what did you guys think? I'd like to ask that we keep it civil, okay? ;) No flaming/flame-baiting, please. Thanks.

Well...

At the very same moment and on the very same Web site, we learn that :

- another two US servicemen died in Iraq this morning.

- the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks reported today there was "no credible evidence" that Saddam Hussein helped Al Qaeda target the United States.

I come to the conclusion -if I had ever doubts about- that GW Bush and his clan used and are using the brave men and women of the US armed forces for their very personal -political- use without scruples.

Uncle Chô, non US citizen, retreating into his bunker and ready for the usual "Euro pussies / coward French / leftist hippies" bashing ;)

Let's not forget Afghanistan where the real Al Qaeda / Talebans threat is still alive and kicking...

They had what they called "coalition village" on MacDill. It had soldiers from all over.

And for the record.

How dare you Euro pussies / coward French / leftist hippies use up my bandwith. I assure you that I have directed a Right-wing / Neo-Con / US Imperialist propaganda missle at you at your bunker.
