Anyone Watching Bush's Speech Tonight?

[Ladyzekke]

He really looks emotional tonight, like he's holding back tears at times. I bet he doesn't want for it to come down to war, but he feels there is no other choice, he doesn't want to wait for us to get hit with a nuke before acting. That is my impression from what I've seen. He's now leaving it up to Saddam, heh, that won't go very far, Saddam just delays any responses/actions that come his way. So I guess basically looks like it is war time in a week?

Crocodile tears, perhaps.

I don't think so. I think this decision is weighting heavy on him. I think in his mind, this is his only option, unless he wants to wake up to another 9/11 one day. There may not be a direct connection between Saddam on Osama, but no one here can deny that there is a direct connection between Saddam and other terrorists. People who would wish harm to the US and other western governments for that matter. I also don't think anyone, deep down in their heart and their brain can deny that Iraq has WoMD. And some of those terrorists that Saddam has dealings with most likely have other dealings with Osama.

Usally I find Mr.Bush a very sincere man, but for whatever reason, he didnt seem sincere as he usally does. Maybe you lose sincerety once you have laid out the facts time and time again and the oposition blantly ignores you.

Canada hasn't had any problems with terrorism, yet we are neighbors with the US, enjoy the same lifestyle, and with the exception of better beer, are generally one in the same. So why is Canada not targeted?
Perhaps the terrorists are trying to tell the US something, the only way they know how: Get off of our soil, leave our country and let us be.
I don't know, and nobody on this forum does, either. The only people that know for sure are the terrorists themselves, but it makes more sense to cure the cause, rather than treat the symptoms.
