Bush the 43rd, the first dictator
The president's speech on Wednesday evening (1/11/o7) was made 3 years too late. His administration has been lacking in intelliegence, competence and vision. The speech just underscores these deficits.
He did not explain what mistakes (!) were made that he was responsible for [“Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility lies with me”]. He thinks that sending in more troops now will assure Americans' safety [“For the safety of our people, America must succeed in Iraq.” ].
Unfortunately, Mr. Bush's speech was just another example of his arrogance. We had no business being in Iraq--if there are terrorists there NOW, we made them. Iraqis are suffering--many thousands dead and many more wounded, besides they have no electricity or clean water. We have removed (and killed) Saddam Hussein for crimes he committed in the 198os -when Reagan and Bush the 1st were in office. Instead of reaching out to Syria and Iran, he threatens them.
This President lied to the American people. He has trampled on the Constitution. He has not made us any safer, but has made himself safe by making himself into a dictator.
It is time for Americans to reclaim America.
