Bush on TV tonight. Maybe it's just me, but he looked scared. Maybe he's on TV because he's tired about hearing (from his staff) that he works in a bubble. Who knows. I found this kind of interesting from tonight's speech:
The terrorists do not merely object to American actions in Iraq and elsewhere -- they object to our deepest values and our way of life. And if we were not fighting them in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Southeast Asia and in other places, the terrorists would not be peaceful citizens -- they would be on the offense, and headed our way.
So, they still hate us for our freedom? That's soooo 2002. This part was pretty amazing, too:
But much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong. And as your president, I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq.

Yet it was right to remove Saddam Hussein from power.
Funny how he can (finally) admit he's wrong, yet in the same breath, say he was wrong for the right reasons. Hey it's a step.

Also, for those of you keeping score at home, this speech contained four WMDs, yet only one September 11ths. That's what I call improvement!
