"It was a chastened Bush we saw. He is discredited and he knows it. Hence the many rationalizations. He is weak on the domestic front - a jobless economic recovery that may not last until the fall. He has little choice but to keep exploiting fear and pose as the war president with the mantra of battling 'terror,' 'terrorism' and 'terrorists.' But the act is wearing thin and he will increasingly be seen as a one-trick pony. The Democratic response to his speech, especially by Senator John Kerry and Gen. Wesley Clark, was tough. Similar sentiments last year would have got them labeled as unpatriotic. They should be saluting Howard Dean. By being bold enough to speak the truth, he has liberated them. He may not go any further in the primaries, but he has already served his party and his nation well."- - Haroon Siddiqui, the Toronto Star.
