I caught most of it, and these are my few sporadic impressions.

(1)  When he was listing all the democracies now in the Middle East . . . was it just me, or was there a big huge elephant in the room?  An elephant by the name of "Palestine"?  C’mon.  Everybody was thinking about it.

(2)  He wants a line-item veto?!?  Why?  This President hasn’t vetoed a single bill.

(3)  Did he really say this?

"Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research – human cloning in all its forms … creating or implanting embryos for experiments … creating human-animal hybrids … and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos."

Human-animal hybrids?  You mean . . . like Jeff Goldblum in "The Fly"?  Is this, like, a problem?

(4)  Pusher Tells Us We’re Addicted:

"America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world," Bush said. "The best way to break this addiction is through technology."

That’s just strange.

(5)  Other strange line:

"Second-guessing is not a strategy."

That itself is not strange (or even wrong), but it is when you take it with this line:

"Our coalition has learned from experience in Iraq. We have adjusted our military tactics and changed our approach to reconstruction."

Apparently second-guessing your own initial strategy is okay.

(6)  And then there’s this:

"Americans should not fear our economic future…"

Geez, it’s always about fear with these guys.  Even when it’s NOT about fear.

(7)  And the message on Iraq is still schizophrenic:

In less than three years, that nation has gone from dictatorship, to liberation, to sovereignty, to a constitution, to national elections. At the same time, our coalition has been relentless in shutting off terrorist infiltration, clearing out insurgent strongholds, and turning over territory to Iraqi security forces. I am confident in our plan for victory…

So we’ve gone from dictatorship to national elections, and we still haven’t achieved victory???

(8)  Another Iraq message:

Their aim is to seize power in Iraq, and use it as a safe haven to launch attacks against America and the world.

"Use" Iraq to launch attacks?  What the fuck does that mean?

Terrorists will "use" Iraq to attack us as much as Tim McVeigh "used" America to launch his attack — i.e. not at all.
