Stop Me If I'm Wrong

Stop Me If I'm Wrong - but Bush's Normandy speech was not what I'd hoped for.

Granted, it did what Memorial Day speeches are supposed to do - honor those who died protecting our freedom, and bringing it back to those who'd lost it.

But the part many of us hoped for - the statement of doctrine to the Europeans that Iraq's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction made them an enemy worthy of our military attention - wasn't there.

Part of me likes to think that silence is golden - that it's all there, under the surface, waiting to come out when the time is right.

Part of me is worried that it won't.
