An active duty officer with more than 25 years experience writes of Sen. James Webb (D-Virgina) who delivered the response to President Bush's State of the Union Speech:
I was struck by his demeanor. One announcer called him smooth. Another referred to him as cool. What I saw was a simmering cauldron of arrogance, anger and resentment. His eyes were not the eyes of a serious thinker but those of a man who is clearly very, very angry and his words bear this out.
I agree with this writer. I saw the arrogance and the anger, and the writer fills out the whys and wherefores. The writer's essay is worth reading, since I think freshman Senator James Webb (D-Virginia) will be in the spotlight for a long time to come.
