President Bush's Major Speech on the war on Terror

I'm not stupid. When the networks announced that President Bush was about to deliver a major speech on the war on terror, I knew that it wasn't going to just be a speech on the war on terror. You can't have a major policy speech and a campaign speech at the same time. You can't do that on a campaign stop. You can't do that at a campaign rally. (That is all that is being done.) Call it for what it is: A campaign speech to try to get you reelected.

It can't be a major War on Terror speech when you are thanking the people that are introducing you or others who have supported you or have people cheer for something they liked that you say or boo against a mention of your "opponent." And you definitely know that it's not a major speech regarding the War on Terror when Bush mentions "my opponent." And now all President Bush is doing is attacking John Kerry. How can THAT be a major speech regarding the war on Terror? Shame on you, President Bush. Shame on the networks for airing his speech.

The thing is that I really wanted to know about progress or lack of progress on the War on Terror from our President. But that's not what I got. And I don't think this is the first time that it has happened either.
