I think the George W. Bush gave one of the best speeches of his presidency this evening. He stated why we are there: To support the a free Iraq and provide an example of a stable democracy amidst the sea of failed states in the Middle East, confront and defeat al-Qaeda, and make it less likely that terrorists can strike in the homeland.
And yes, some troops, not a lot, will be coming home before Christmas.
As for the Democrats, they made a poor choice in providing their opposition response, another New Englander, this time Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island, who said, "once again, the president failed to provide either a plan to successfully end the war or a convincing rationale to continue it."
I disagree, Bush did just that.
