These are people who have in the opinions of many experts and Americans done a simply pathetic and incompetent job, and have shown little ability to adapt because of a systemic inability to see the world for what it is.
And we're supposed to trust them with out future?
There is a serious divide in this country on how to fight the enemy, assuming you can even articulate what the enemy is! The brush Bush is painting is so broad he is lumping all the Worlds problems into a single bucket, and in doing to pushing Islam towards the unified state that Bin Laden so wants!
I'd agree that unity is necessary, but Bush didn't really ask for unity last night...he asked for everyone to just go along with this plans...
Unity requires compramise to find common ground, and it doesn't appear to me that Bush is willing to budge.
It's not computing

Okay for the sake of argument: Bush comes on television tonight and says our motives for entering Iraq were flawed and we had no plan for the aftermath. End of debate. That in no way changes the status of the current situation in Iraq. Thats why the point and debate is moot.
