Yea, but did you look at the audience? A bunch of hard-ass military types. Those guys probably don't show too much emotion.
All in all, I thought it was a good speech. I can't get over the fact that Bush just isn't a good speaker. No matter the message, it just sounds bad coming out of his mouth. Even when he says all the words correctly, his delivery leaves much to be desired. Pick any one of his speeches and put the words in a different person's mouth, and we would have a completely different world.
Even so, what he had to say is important. Still, we have folks who want to say there's no timeline - I don't know how much more specific you can get than June 30th and January of 2005. There's those who question the amount of authority the Iraqi's will get on June 30th - I don't know how many more times the administration needs to say "complete authority" or "full sovereignty" or "the occupation ends on June 30th" before people get the idea. Yet, they're right on one point, only time will tell. Personally, I'm excited for the unfolding.
