When I first saw this I was angered, then, four lines later I started to yawn. This so called speach is nothing more than the one shrub gave four years ago, only the names have changed. He again, "outlined a threat" with his fear mongering and threatening and deciding.
Tell me, does any of this BS sound familiar?
Bush: Iran is source of deadly weapons
Feburary 2007
1. Challenged on the accuracy of U.S. intelligence, President Bush said Wednesday there is no doubt the Iranian government is providing armor-piercing weapons to kill American soldiers in Iraq
2. ...conflicting statements about U.S. intelligence in Iran and recurring speculation that Bush is looking for an excuse to attack the Islamic republic, which is believed by Washington and its allies to be seeking nuclear weapons.
3. Defending U.S. intelligence that has pinpointed Iran as a hostile arms supplier in Iraq, Bush said, "Does this mean you're trying to have a pretext for war? No. It means I'm trying to protect our troops."
4. Bush said the Quds Force was instrumental in supplying the weapons — "we know that," he said — and that the Quds Force was part of the Iranian government. "That's a known," he said. "What we don't know is whether or not the head leaders of Iran ordered the Quds Force to do what they did."
President Bush Outlines Iraqi Threat
Remarks by the President on Iraq
Cincinnati Museum Center - Cincinnati Union Terminal
Cincinnati, Ohio 2002
1. Eleven years ago, as a condition for ending the Persian Gulf War, the Iraqi regime was required to destroy its weapons of mass destruction, to cease all development of such weapons, and to stop all support for terrorist groups. The Iraqi regime has violated all of those obligations. It possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons. It has given shelter and support to terrorism, and practices terror against its own people. The entire world has witnessed Iraq's eleven-year history of defiance, deception and bad faith.
2. The danger is already significant, and it only grows worse with time. If we know Saddam Hussein has dangerous weapons today -- and we do -- does it make any sense for the world to wait to confront him as he grows even stronger and develops even more dangerous weapons?
3. In addition to declaring and destroying all of its weapons of mass destruction, Iraq must end its support for terrorism.
4.I hope this will not require military action, but it may. (snip) we have to act, we will take every precaution that is possible. We will plan carefully; we will act with the full power of the United States military; we will act with allies at our side, and we will prevail.
Are we really willing to do this again? Are we truly, once again, going to be blinded by lies? Isn't it time that we stood up and in one voice declaired the decider is no longer decinding in our name?

I wish not to come across as too judgmental, but I find your system granting way too much power to a president. I hear about the checks and balances, but I haven't been seeing them too much.
I suppose, that usually things go a OK, but in the exptional circumstances like now, when you are lead by this bunch in the White House, your president and basically the rest of the country have drifted apart. Has it come down to, that 80% of the population can only helplessly watch when this administration is taking you once again against your will and better judgment to another war? How is this following the democratic principles, quite frankly, escapes me?
The good news is, Nancy stood up and told the "man" no last night. No to Iran, no to a troop surge. I'll post about it today.
It is my hope and dream that the rest of congress gain half the backbone of this lady.
