I agree and he sounded like a middle school kid trying to read the speech word for word. It was a well written speech but the delivery was seriously lacking.
I do not think Saddam chose wisely ========== Thursday, Sept. 20, 2001
Following is the full text of President Bush's address to a joint session of Congress and the nation.
[snips] Americans are asking, "How will we fight and win this war?''
We will direct every resource at our command--every means of diplomacy, every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforcement, every financial influence, and every necessary weapon of war--to the destruction and to the defeat of the global terror network. [...] And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists. [...] From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.

=============== Saddam chose the wrong side [snip] In April 2002, Saddam Hussein increased from $10,000 to $25,000 the money offered to families of Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers. The rules for rewarding suicide/homicide bombers are strict and insist that only someone who blows himself up with a belt of explosives gets the full payment. Payments are made on a strict scale, with different amounts for wounds, disablement, death as a "martyr" and $25,000 for a suicide bomber. Mahmoud Besharat, a representative on the West Bank who is handing out to families the money from Saddam, said, "You would have to ask President Saddam why he is being so generous. But he is a revolutionary and he wants this distinguished struggle, the intifada, to continue."
