Sounds like I didn’t miss a thing,  from what David W. says here.  We heard exactly what they’ve planned to do all along.

“As for the substance: It’s beneath contempt. Sorry to write him off, but by now we know how his mind works. For any problem, he can hold on to only one solution. No matter how the situation changes or what the evidence is, that one solution is the right one. A massive – and massively unbalanced – tax cut was the right policy when we had a huge surplus and it’s the right solution when we have growing deficits. Overthrowing Saddam is the right thing so we will come up with evidence to support it. It isn’t dialogue. It isn’t even thinking. If W weren’t president, there would be no reason to waste a moment listening to him. “

I’m not so sure , David,  if ANY  of of this comes from Bush’s mind.  I find myself having little doubt that he is “spoon-fed” everything by a staff.  He reads rather obviously and heavily from a teleprompter on many occasions.   I have very little confidence in him,  or the innner circle whose bidding he performs.  As I sit here eating my lunch,  checking the News,  and reading the speech ,  I’m about to lose the lunch.  And people actually believe the guy.  As if he actually has persuasion skills.  Shows just how powerful the mob mentality is.
