State of the Union Address: Foreign Policy Section

So far, we've got Bush stumping against isolationism and for making decisions for the rest of the world...

K-Hole: "I was just confused by the 'clear plan for victory comment.'"

Bush: "...and we are winning..." -- By what metric?

Big applause for decreasing troop levels...

Bush: "Yet there is a difference between responsible criticism and... defeatism" -- Well, when you're losing and the leadership continues to blindly trumpet success, isn't a bit of defeatism in order?

K-Hole: "Look at that little nasal twitch he just made -- like he's got a booger!"

Bush is recounting a story of a soldier who died in Iraq and left a letter talking about how he died so we wouldn't have to. Poor guy -- it's amazing how easily one can be brainwashed. And, of course, Bush is beaming as he talks about it.

Bush: "Liberty is the right and hope of all of humanity." Which is why we continue to oppose renewal of the Patriot Act.

NUKE-U-LAR!!!! (applause)

He bends over and speaks from his rear to Iran...

Bush: "You and I have taken unprotected action in fighting AIDS and malaria." What about the 5 billion he promised towards fighting AIDS in Africa in his 2002 SoU speech and hasn't delivered?

"I ask you to reauthorize the Patriot Act." Uh, no...

Summary of the last two minutes: "If I can't spy, you'll all die."
