Bush delivers the state of the union message

     President Bush delivered the state of the union message on TV tonight. He covered several different subjects including the Iraq war. Unfortunately he typically portrayed the war the same way he has from the beginning, basing most of his rhetoric on the well worn fear scenario. Guess what Mr. President, it is no longer working. I didn’t buy and I don’t think anyone else did either. What really got me, or should I say interested me was how Congress reacted and applauded. On one side were the Republicans standing up and applauding while the Democrats sat silent on the other side. Interesting to say the least.
     Concluding the speech Democrats characterized Bush’s journey into Iraq to be reckless and ill thought out and that we should start searching for a way out. Rudy Giuliani has the opinion that the war will continue but he has doubts. He thinks that Bush’s plan should be given a chance to see how it will turn out. Mr. Giuliani a Republican presidential hopeful has taken the usual and expected viewpoint. Kerry said that we should step up the pressure to end the war. Others concurred that we need to set a timetable on Iraq. At this point in time no one knows what the vote will be in the Senate. I predict that the House will vote it down.
     I would suggest that we keep our eyes on the action which will develop both in Congress and the House in the coming weeks. Hopefully both houses will be able to keep up the pressure to bring this ugly war reach a proper end. I disagree that there will be no victory. Only time will tell.
