I thought that the first half was a coherent, poignant, lucid theoretical framework of a war policy throughout the human experience. If only it could somehow transcend into his policy.

Grade - A for speech writers
B- for the President (I gave extra points for improvement)
F - for the rest of us. Either way we're F@#$-ed
