Yes. Look, he's not a rhetorician and he's doing his best. He's not a Kennedy, or Reagan, or Clinton. Those guys just had the gift of rhetoric. I think he really did his best. I think it was a bit too much pablum, but the important point was he signalled his intentions. As one commentator said, Europe will not be too pleased--they wanted something softer. He made it clear he's not negotiating. The thing is--I hope he listens long and hard to Colin Powell. We need him like never before. We MUST build a strong coalition. The only person over here was Tony Blair. The rest of Europe is quite ambivalent about this. If we strike too soon, we'll be alone & lost...we don't want another Vietnam.
