LOS ANGELES TIMES
It's an election year: For an incumbent presi- dent, that usually means a shift to the middle of the political spectrum. Bill Clinton, running for re-election in 1996, edged rightward with his declaration that the era of big government was over. But Bush broke those expectations Tuesday. He brought forth an unapologetic conservatism. From his defiant defense of the invasion and occupation of Iraq to his un- abashed push for tax cuts that create billions of dollars in deficits, Bush was unswerving. His real accomplishment was a persuasive delivery of a good speech that sent a steady message: "I'm the boss. I'm unafraid to do what needs doing. Stick with me." And the less a listener let the facts get in the way, the more effective the speech became. On Iraq, he focused on the removalofSaddam Hussein, which of course drew heavy applause __ but he didn't mention that U.S. weapons inspection teams have failed to find nuclear, chemical or biological weapons; their immi- nent threat was sold as a major reason for going to war. In last year's State of the Union speech, Bush said U.S. intelligence estimated that Saddam had materials to produce "as much as tudents take back seat 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent" and had "upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents." "We will never seck a permission slip to de- fend the security of our country," Bush said Tuesday. Again, a powerful line -- but America never has and never should ask permission to when it comes to parking defend itself. The question was whether a pre- emptive strike in Iraq was the best way for the United States to defend itself. "Looking on the web page of the Parking Department under reservations you will find it Beyond its constitutional requirement, costs the BAA about $150 dollars to reserve the Stadium lot. It is disappointing to see Boise Bush's State of the Union speech was the un- State sell out the students for such a small dollar amount." official kickoff of his re-election campaign.
