The local daily criticizes President Bush's speech at the UN as "unconvincing."

You can read the speech for yourself here if you'd like, but the contents are just more of the lies we've been getting from the president. He paints a a pretty picture, and talks about how we're winning in Iraq and democracy is coming any day now.

There's a reason why John Kerry's bold speech and statements about Iraq are resonating. A) They're the truth; and B) Even Bush supporters know they've been kidding themselves about how well the situation in Iraq is going.

When Republican Senators like Chuck Hagel, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Richard Lugar are all openly criticizing their own party's president on Iraq less than two months before a presidential election, you know there's serious trouble.

I have to agree with the paper. The president blew it once again.
