Some specifics: I liked the increase of the armed forces by 92,000 over the next five years. I dislike that it is only 92,000. However, Clinton really hurt us as a military power when he cut troops and support by 800,000. That kind of cut takes a generation to recover from. I didn't like how soft he remained on the birder issue. I like how he was talking about not incresing taxes, and being fiscally conservative (something I haven't seen from him till this point).

I would have preferred a bit more passion from Bush, but the message overall was good regarding the war in particular. Perhaps he's just tired. Don't blame him. I caught the Web response shortly after it began, but couldn't watch it all. I bailed after the usual inference that this is the first war that hasn't gone perfectly. It disgusts me. I particularly liked the end where he highlighted guests beginning with Dikembe Motumbo of the NBA. When he spoke of these as examples of what Americans are like, his demeanor picked up noticeably.
