<<... am disappointed after the State of the Union. The case against Iraq was careful and complete but it was far from compelling. No matter how justified the war, leading America into battle with the country divided along (mostly) partisan lines is bad policy. It is a failure of leadership...>>

Paul: I agree with you for the most part...Bush didn't convince me that Iraq was A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER that warranted going to war right now...I was also less than impressed with how the president failed to reassure me that he was commited to working closely with The U.N. and our Allies to address the Iraqi problem...Some of his comments suggested the willingness to go it alone and be a unilateralist -- IMO, this is the NeoCons from the Defense Department having a profound influence on Bush's thinking...On Charlie Rose's Show tonight Alan Brinkley (Professor of History at Columbia University) thought Bush demonstrated that he sees the world in absolutes and that can be very dangerous at times.

I am not totally satisfied with Bush's plan to revive the economy, safegaurd our environment, reform healthcare, etc...Overall, IMO it was a speech that will appeal to the hard right in our country BUT will not accomplish all that was necessary....In a way these speeches are autobiographies of the President and I was not surprised by the style, the tone or the substance of the speech.

regards,
