Bush Speech Today at Kansas State University

Bush just finished an amazing speech at Kansas State University. In it, he reminded the audience about who we are fighting in Iraq, why we are fighting them and what are the consequences of NOT fighting them.

He also talked about the wiretapping program. This is not 'domestic spying'--it is listening in on conversations between known Al Qaeda operatives and people within the U.S.

I will look later to see if it is available on C-SPAN or the Internet and post a link her

Bush needs to repeat this over and over to combat the misinformation in the media. The Democrats need to quit fighting him and start working with the Republicans to update our ability to gather the intelligence we need in a wireless, cell-phone, Blackberry/Treo, instant messaging world.

At the end of the speech, Bush offered to take questions. There was a moment of silence and then someone in the crowd yelled out, "You done good, Mr. President!" and the hall erupted into applause and cheers.

Update: You can read the text of the speech here, although it is not as good as hearing it delivered.
