I asked what reason is Bush telling the American people. Not what the resolution said. Bush was given all that he asked for by the American people through their reps such as Senator Kerry. But did Bush live up to the expectations of a leader or did he fail is the question. Did he have a clear reason for going into the war, did he have a clear plan to end the war or as they say win the peace. Is his plan a lifetime plan? Many questions whose answers he needs to provide before the American people give him the nod. And time is running out. If he fails to do so before the time runs out, then he will get the votes of those "invitation only" folks who attend his stump gatherings.

BUSH ENSURING NUKE ATTACK WITH HIS IMCOMPETENCE BAGHDAD – Concerns are growing that high-precision equipment in Iraq that could be used to make nuclear weapons has been "systematically" disappearing, and may present a new proliferation risk. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has told the UN Security Council of the "widespread and apparently systematic dismantlement" of buildings in Iraq that once housed key dual-use items. Because UN inspectors have been all but barred from Iraq since March 2003, they must rely primarily on satellite imagery to track the missing equipment...Among them are precision milling and turning machines and electron-beam welders that before the war were tagged with IAEA seals and monitored to ensure that they were not used for an illicit weapons program. Analysts say the missing equipment could be useful to a nation or terrorist group bent on building a nuclear bomb. The fact that it's now unaccounted for also raises questions about the quality of protection of such sensitive sites by US-led forces in Iraq... ..."It's very troubling that any of this stuff should be unprotected, let alone go missing," says Mr. Wolfsthal. "If one of these things went missing in the US, there would be a massive criminal investigation ... and people going to jail." csmonitor.com
