Leaving aside the "could there have been a speech" thing, which IMO is a red herring:

So... Are you saying there was NOTHING GWB could have done that wouldn't have gotten him blasted by those goofy liberals? Even when his approval rating was in the 90s and everybody was behind doing SOMETHING... There's NOTHING he could have done to unite the nation and move us forward into a new era?
I don't believe that for an instant. I was ready for us to use the tragedy that 9/11 was to foster international understanding, further the cause of peace, and unite America for something constructive. That's not exactly Bush's style, but I promise you, there WERE things that could have been done that would have left him among the best presidents in history, rather than the miserable state we're in now.
