The speech

As I expected, mostly. The AP sums up:

Bush's speech did not break new ground or present a new strategy.

Of course, most of us realized there would be nothing new. The speech probably reaffirmed the message his supporters already hear and fell upon deaf ears on the other side. There is nothing that will unite the country in Bush's speech. And none of us expected that either, really.

Some of us were hopeful, however.

Bush's speech, essentially, was a "trust me and stay the course" kind of thing. And since he is in charge,we have little choice but to watch events unfold and pray that he's right, even as it looks
less and less that he is. And it's hard to stay the course when our resources have become so limited that there are questions as to how much longer we can do just that.

Think Progress, of course, has more.
