Mr. Bush did as good a job as he could tonight. He seemed chastened albiet not humble. His talk of the stakes of our war I think are not indispute. The problem on that front continues to be that many of us think that our actions in Iraq have elevated the threats not made them any better. There is no sign that military action is going to solve the overall problem of islamic extremism. And the reality behind much of his rhetoric on combating this real enemy is that he has no real strategy to succeed. Other than to kill them. However the pot containing new extremists is ever filling thanks to our actions in Iraq.

Mr President I agree with you in your assesment of our enemy and their goals. But I strongly disagree with how you are going about fighting them.
