Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 4:30pm Watch the Democratic Response After George Bush speaks to the nation tonight in his annual State of the Union address, the Democrats will be responding to what he had to say. This year, Senator James Webb (D-VA) will deliver the response. If you recall, Senator Webb has a son fighting in Iraq and almost came to blows with President Bush a couple months back when Bush made a snide comment to Webb about his son.
Senator Webb is expected to touch on a number of issues, including domestic policies, but it will be fascinating to hear what he says about Iraq. Webb is a highly decorated veteran of the Vietnam war, wrote six best selling novels about war, and served as Ronald Reagan's Secretary of the Navy in the 1980's.
James Webb is exponentially more qualified to talk about the Iraq War than the President. He is also a conservative Democrat, so his opinion garners more credibility than most of his Democratic counterparts.
Unlike the President, Webb is expected to deliver a short and concise speech. It should last no more than 10 minutes. If you care about the Iraq war, you should watch.
