Speech On Iraq Tonight President Bush gave a speech to the nation from the oval office. I found this speech to be very open, revealing the emotions of our president and admitting to making mistakes. One point that should have specific consideration is that we should have the military in Iraq made the decisions of troop withdraws and not politicians in congress. When it comes to our protection we should trust the people whose job it is to protect us, and not people who are trying to get elected.  ¶ 8:20 PM
