Another terrible review of the SOTU - From the Philadelphia Inquirer

http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/7758626.htm

Bush defended the war in Iraq as necessary to the war against terrorism, although no one has found the weapons of mass destruction or the links to terrorist groups that administration officials said posed an imminent threat to the United States and Iraq's neighbors. White House officials say Bush's preemptive approach to Iraq prompted Libya to come clean about its weapons-of-mass-destruction program and to promise to dismantle it.

However, an analysis published last month by the Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute called the Iraq war "a strategic error of the first order" and "a detour" from defeating the main threat to America's security: al-Qaeda terrorists.

The Bush administration "may have set the United States on a path of open-ended and unnecessary conflict with states and nonstate entities that pose no direct threat to the United States," according to Jeffrey Record, author of the analysis.

Another study published two weeks ago by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace concluded that although Iraq's weapons program had posed a long-term regional and global security threat, it had not posed an immediate threat to the United States. In addition, the 61-page study found no conclusive evidence to support the White House claim that former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had links to al-Qaeda.

Pelosi and Daschle would have simply read this editorial as their response to pResident Bush's SOU speech last night....They are too damn spineless to do so.

This one sounds pretty much on the mark to me
