John Edwards speech highlights

Posted on August 31st, 2004 in General, Politics by tavaresforby ||

I was watching John Edwards speaking at the University of North Carolina last night. As I was listening, what came to my mind was, “this guy speeches are convincing,” but it was something that was not right about his speech. He made statements that he and John Kerry were going to do that President Bush failed to do. All these statements that he made were very high level. For example, he mentioned “the Bush administration miscalculated by rushing to war by deciding to go it alone without strong allies,” and that John Kerry and himself will work closer with the United Nations. Besides Tony Blair and maybe a few other folks, there was no one else that was going to back the US into this war. Then he goes to mention, “the war on terrorism CAN be won.” Winning the war on terrorism is like saying you can destroy every caca roach in the world. Maybe John Edwards is going to sit down and have a meeting with the terrorist and ask them politely to stop terrorism and have a terrorism treaty. Winning the war on terrorism is like making the US having 0 crime rate. It can’t happen! What President Bush said is true, “President Bush said he doesn’t think the war on terrorism can be won, but that conditions can be created around the world that make terrorists less acceptable.” There were some other things he said that I couldn’t remember, but I am going to look for his complete speech via web.

    It seems that Bush has done a flip flop

    I don’t think he meant that we will win as there will be no more terrorism.

    Bush said, pausing to grin slightly. “We will win by staying on the offensive, we will win by spreading liberty.”

    I think John Edward meant their administration will win by having no terrorism at all.

    Its funny I was just thinking about his convention speach. Sound nice but there is no meat. Lots of spices and sugar but all empty calories.

    They are relying on everyone to accept that thier lives are worse today thanks to George Bush alone, and if you change that your life will be better.

    Tavares,
    Ok, point well taken, but then again this kinda nails it don’t you think.

    Bush “will make it crystal clear … that we will win the war on terrorism by continuing to take the fight to the enemy,” White House spokesman Scott McClellan said ahead of the president’s speech in Nashville, Tennessee, to the American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans organisation.

    Our first lady Laura Bush makes a good statement:

    First lady Laura Bush defended her husband, saying on ABC’s Good Morning America that “this isn’t a war with a country where you’re going to have a surrender at some point, but the fact is, as we look around the world, we are already winning the war on terror.”
