#1 I just got the chance to see, on FoxNews of course, excerpts of Dr Rice's speech - and she pulled no punches on Egypt, Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia - and maybe more, that's just what Fox featured. Very blunt and plain-spoken. It rocked.
For those who've been having hissy fits about Bush not calling a spade a spade - per their voyeur's schedule, when NO ONE BEFORE HIM EVER DID SO or even had the stones to IMPLY change should come, well, Bush definitely stands alone, now. This was the naked gauntlet - democratic freedom, without hesitation, without exception, no partial or half-measures, throughout the Middle East. The Bush Doctrine without nuance or exceptions in your face. There's no hesitation out there to issue blame, whether due or not. It's time for credit where due. Bush. Rice. |
