If this is not evil, then evil has no meaning. And tonight I have a message for the brave and oppressed people of Iraq: Your enemy is not surrounding your country - your enemy is ruling your country. And the day he and his regime are removed from power will be the day of your liberation.
...
Tonight I also have a message for the men and women who will keep the peace, members of the American Armed Forces: Many of you are assembling in and near the Middle East, and some crucial hours may lie ahead. In those hours, the success of our cause will depend on you. Your training has prepared you. Your honor will guide you. You believe in America, and America believes in you.

The following is a memo from Matthew Dowd, Senior Adviser, Republican National Committee, in regards to President Bush's approval numbers:
Much has been discussed about the President's "falling" poll numbers and what he needs to do in the State of the Union Address to fix this situation. Democratic leaning pundit Paul Krugman with the NY Times referred today to President Bush's "plummeting" poll numbers in the last few months. Here are some facts:
1.Bush approval numbers have "plummeted" all of three points since Election Day nearly three months ago. His Gallup approval numbers were 63% before Election Day and today in the most recent Gallup poll they are 60%. As we have said, they are right where we thought they would be after a high point nearly 18 months ago.
2. Former President Reagan was re-elected in a landslide with a 58% job approval. Former President Clinton won re-election overwhelmingly with a 54% job approval. No president has been defeated with a job approval above 50%.
3. State of the Union addresses at this point in Presidents' terms don't usually move numbers on job approval. In 1983, Reagan's job approval went from 37% before the speech to 35% after the speech on Gallup job approval. In 1991, Bush job approval went from 83% before the speech to 74% after the speech. And in 1995, the media's great orator Clinton went from 47% before the speech to 49% after the speech.
I hope this provides some much needed perspective.

But we must grow up and realize that this is now part of the territory of Wash DC politics. it ain't gonna change. That being said, he debarbed half the arguments of the Leftists. Tommy must be changing his knickers about now.
The "experts" said he wouldn't spend much time on the ME and Iraq. He'd let Powell take care of it in a few days. The dolt from Texas fooled 'em again. The foreign policy part of the speech was very, very good. I assume sad faces on the Demo side of the aisle (I haven't TV). NPR kept saying, "....only the Republicans are standing and cheering now...". Their little editorial comments masked as descriptives of course actually backfired when heard by smart folks. Example: "The President just trashed partial birth abortion. Only the Repubs cheered, the Demos remained seated and very quiet...". Do they realize how bad this sounds? On TV the Americans who are not braindead could see the stark differences.
