What if Bush gave this speech a year ago?
My fellow Americans:

Tomorrow I will order our Armed Forces to invade the nation of Iraq with the objective of removing Saddam Hussein and installing a new government. The decision to go to war is the most serious any President can make. I am addressing the nation now to tell you the reason for my decision, and I owe it to you to tell the entire truth.

We are not invading tomorrow because Saddam Hussein and Iraq had anything to do with the events of September 11. The hijackers were Saudi, bin Laden is a Yemeni being sheltered in Pakistan, and he hates Saddam as much as we do. Indeed, my Administration has been planning to invade Iraq since first taking office, long before September 11.

1. Well George W Bush did not give that speech last year at this time...
...and he isn't giving one like that speech now, nor do I believe that GW Bush would ever give a speech where he was open, honest and level with the American people or the world. For that reason GW does not deserve to be president for another four years and that is why John Kerry is going to be our next president.

2. I could swear.....
that is the speech we really did hear one year ago. Maybe we've just learned to "hear" between the lines better than others.

3. I guess my point is...
... do you think he would get much support after speech like that?

Neither do I. That's why Bush and his Administration had to lie, keep lying, force everyone to accept their lies as the truth, and condemn any examination of the lies as appeasement, weakness and anti-Americanism.

This is the worst President and worst Administration in history.
