6. I myself slept through much of it |

some here said he cried. I guess it was such a beautiful speech that it touched him.

12. They aren't happy campers. |
|
My 25 year old step son got orders for Iraq. The buzz is these guys won't even get combat pay in a couple of months. No wonder they're pissed.

I told my sweetheart that there was just no way that a hall full of military would interrupt just one time unless it was coordinated.

But they said, of course, that the troops really WANTED to applaud and that they were "riveted" the the words of the "Commander in Chief."

18. You could tell it was prompted |

Silent for most of the speech, then he delivers a line about we're there to win, and he pauses, then applause.

20. NBC just reported the same thing about 10 minutes ago. |
|
I think that's a good sign. Two years ago i don't think the networks would have mentioned all of the little propaganda bits.
