Bush's Speech
In front of Republican homer crowd, Bush gave a rehash of his UN speech. There was nothing substantially new that he stated. This speech just ends up being a political push to get Congress to give him a blank check for war. This speech did not have to be done in Cincinnati, but it did not hurt the city's image, which could use all good PR it can get. Bush instead could have given this speech back at the White House, saving a few bucks. Bush did make a wise choice by calling for a UN resolution. He maintained his cover to allow him to prepare for war, without provoking inflamed international outcry. Bush made a good case for the World to confront Saddam, and take efforts to force him to comply with the UN resolutions. Bush did not make a compelling case as to why military action is the only route. He also still confused the issue with his notion that we cannot wait to take action. Is it waiting for him to take the UN route, will building up forces, while attacking early next year? That is the where the spin and the political propaganda was hollow. He did not change my mind, and anyone who pays attention would understand that nothing new was said tonight. If minds are changed tonight it much be based on ignorance or a follow the leader psychosis.
