Thread Name: BS: Bush's speech
Subject: RE: BS: Bush's speech
I didn't hear it being a scarier line in the sand then it was obviously going to be. I thought it was more diplomatic then most things he has said. I wanna know who's idea it was to name it OPERATION INFINITE JUSTICE, that scared the beegezus out of me, that someone could suggest that and it would leave whatever room it was suggested in, mineaswell call it OPERATION WWWIII. Maybe that is why I found the speech mild, I thought for the first time he measured his words, careful not to paint the whole middle east with a brush stroke and most importantly implying empathy with the citizens of Afganistan, as themselves suffering unfortunately with the taliban goverment. I think it will be the careful, focused response, more now than I did yesterday.
