There ...I can't believe you did the whole speech. <BR/><BR/>There wasn't a single new word in the speech. Not an original phrase that we couldn't have found in any number of previous speeches. In fact your deconstruction was more interesting than the original text.<BR/><BR/>Of course we had another interesting turn of events which may or may not be coincidences. On the same day shrub gave the speech, we lost 6 Marines in a Road side bombing. And then we had another "terrorist alert," which Homeland Security has not taken too seriously, but which the Republican Mayor of New York is using to help boost the President's sagging approval ratings. The interesting thing about this is that it can be argued from two different directions. It could be argued that we have another terrorism alert at a time when Shrub's approval rating is at an all time low. In which case we could argue opportunism and media manipulation. On the other hand, if there is a legitimate threat and if some kind of incident does take place (in New York or elsewhere) we could just as easily argue that his war on terror has proven to be an outright failure. I was especially interested by the fact that some of the initial reports claimed that this information supposedly came from outside Baghdad. Again, we have no way of knowing this. For that matter the story itself could simply be a false news flash placed in the media to help Bush regain his footing. Either way the speech, the six deaths, and the terrorism alert (which may or may not be legitimate) are nothing more than more proof that this administration finds a way to ruin everything it touches.Daniel Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867615998840273692noreply@blogger.com
