Heh...
Did anyone besides me find it really freaky that Bush's head didn't move AT ALL during that speech? His neck must be really stiff. OR he could have trained his neck by keeping it in odd positions for hours on end... giving blowjobs, perhaps?
You know what they say about those Texans...
But seriously. I agree with Andrew. I got sort of this blah, blah attitude from Bush for most of the speech, kind of like "I've been saying the same stuff for the past 3 months... blah blah" but when he came to the topic of oil, his eyes lit up... I could see oil-lust. It did seem a bit blatant.
We're going about this wrong. Erik may have convinced me that we need to march in and hold an election, but I heard none of that in Bush's speech. There was only a casual reference to such an election, but I want to hear him explicitly say "We will hold a democratic election in Iraq and allow every citizen over 18 to vote." Instead, I only heard talk of disarmament. If this is the attitude that drives the war, I fear what will happen in post-war Iraq. I envision an economy and government run by the rich, because they're the ones who are least affected by a US invasion.
