[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 165570, member: 2189"] Thank you Mr. President. Now folks we can spin it, turn it, twist it any way we want and try our best to rationalize this issue but the blunt truth is, using the President's own words, "but we did not find those weapons." To the President's credit, he didn't go on to make excuses such as "Saddam moved them to Syria" which by the way is plausible or that they hid them here or hid them there but he didn't. He then went on to say the following: Again, tip of the hat to him for being honest with the nation. OK, 2 important things here. Intel was for the most part wrong. I didn't say, President Bush did. He also said "we did not find those weapons" so that should settle that point. OK, the issue of WMD as it pertains to Iraq is a flat non issue so unless you want to publically sit there and call the President a liar, we should not bring up the WMD again. It's a settled point by the highest authority. Now if you want to discuss Iraq on other matters, then that should be the focus and in fact the President lays out his case for staying in Iraq based on these other issues as he laid out in the speech. For those who would think I'm picking my words from his speech, "DAMN RIGHT I AM!" at the end of the last quote the President went on to say this: I'll agree with that statement but my contention would be as to who had the right in the first place to do this? That is the real heart of the question IMO. Here's the entire speech for you to read and I would encourage you to do so and I would encourage you to read the transcripts of not only other Bush speeches but those of other Presidents. Most are on-line and very worthwhile to read. President's Address to the Nation In parting, if the President and the intel community was wrong about Iraq concerning WMD, the question would be can we trust that same mechanism in the future to also be right when those same allegations are raised about others? That's one each of us will have to decide for ourselves. Take care! [/QUOTE]
