physically ILL from this, but I am still making myself watch it.

"we are winning" he's on DRUGS

[LearnedHand]

4. Let's see: Our work in Iraq is difficult because...

the enemy is brutal. But we're fighting whom in Iraq? Iraqis? So, the people we're there to "liberate" are brutal?

[frylock]

7. repubs looking over at dem side, checking on who is applauding..

Don't answer

[Mz Pip]

10. Black and white analogies.

How lame can he get?

Mz Pip
:dem:

[NYC]

11. Changed our approach to reconstruction.

In other words, we've run out of money to give to Halliburton.

[The Backlash Cometh]

29. Changed? He used the word change? FLIP-FLOPPER!!!

[LearnedHand]

12. "Bring 'em on" IS NOT A STRATEGY,

you fuckin' loser asshole.

[julialnyc]

13. "second guessing is not a strategy"

that is soooooo stupid!

[NYC]

25. That was nothing more than a snide remark.

Is the SOTU really the place for snide remarks?

[rodeodance]

75. that is what I was saying--Demeaning comments directed at those who

do not agree with him. purely political

[IndianaGreen]

28. Don't ask about WMDs or the Plame leak or...

Tweety was right, Bush is daring the Democrats to do anything about him.

[rodeodance]

31. this is not good at all--very political comments from Jr about the war.

[gumby]

14. What pledge?

Did the US pledge to invade Iraq?

[AnnieBW]

15. Stand Behind our military

and F*ck them up the a**!

[TransitJohn]

30. Sure man

milk the ffucking real patriotic Americans....I can't stand this guy's cheap demagogery...never have been able to take it.
Cheers Annie.

[rodeodance]

16. just saw kerry and Feinstein sitting next to each other.

[rodeodance]

23. not nice of Jr to make demeaning cracks at Dems or those who do not

like his policy of war.

[NYC]

40. Not nice, but not surprising.

He gloats during applause. This couldn't be a better example of the emperor having no clothes. He is lying, receiving applause, and congratulating himself for having deceived us.

[mzmolly]

Getting the freepers hot with military lingo now.

:eyes:

[mzmolly]

17. Ah, we're defeatists and isolationists? HUH?

I'll add those labels to the shit list.

[LaborThug]

...should start at home!!!

[Straight Shooter]

Welcome to DU!

You've got more guts than I do, I cannot bear to watch this
tripe. 

[IndianaGreen]

19. Kaine's SOTU response is totally off the mark

as a response to Bush's combative speech.

Kaine's speech is posted on another thread, very lame.

[Suich]

20. You can read along with the speech here:

http://www.thinkprogress.org/

[Kurovski]

21. Well then, when the heck are those Iraqi troops gonna be trained?

[mzmolly]

41. Perhaps he'll get to pinch their cheeks before they exit?

He used the SOTU to speak "directly to the Iraqi people" about how much we respect them -- just before we began bombing the shit out of them, their country, and their national treasures.
