Breaking: Bush to address nation on Iraq Sunday
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10498617/

President will speak from the Oval Office on Sunday evening

BREAKING NEWS
Updated: 6:30 p.m. ET Dec. 16, 2005

WASHINGTON - President Bush will address the nation about Iraq on Sunday evening, his first speech from the Oval Office since he announced the beginning of the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.

The White House said it was asking television networks for live coverage of the president's address, expected to run less than 20 minutes.

"The Iraqi people have just concluded a historic election and we now are entering a critical period for our mission in Iraq," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.

"The president will talk about the importance of our mission and the way forward in 2006," he said.

76. At least there is time to gather the network phone numbers so..
Everyone can call early and often about how the clown needs to get the hook. Don't wait until the last minute. Get the numbers of your local affiliates ready so you can start calling as soon as the chimp shows his face.

53. No, no, it's like this:
"Terra. (jaw tic) 9/11. (double-jaw tic) Weapons of MD. (j.t.) 9/11. (double-jaw tic) Fight 'em over there. (j.t.) Thank you" The double jaw tic is because he was part of the planning of 9-11.

9. Write the networks and tell them not to carry it
It's propaganda, not serious national business. Poll ratings down, throw dubya on tv so he can say "nine eleven" a hundred times. If he had some serious policy to discuss, or serious national business, that's one thing. But this kind of propaganda - the networks should just say NO!

15. I can write the speech already .....
..... this after his last 4 speeches?

bush talk =
* The election was success
* As "they" stand up we will stand down
* Iraq is the focus of the global war on terror
* The intel was bad .... and I will take responsibility ..... all the time shifting to others
* Murtha's plan to go into effect but it will be my idea now.
* 9/11 keep America safer ...... 9/11 my job to protect America ...... 9/11 changed things.

21. exactly
"The Iraqi people have just concluded a historic election and we now are entering a critical period for our mission in Iraq," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.

Translation: We can read the polls as well as you can. The war is unpopular. People want their sons, daughters, fathers and mothers back stateside. We don't want to be seen as "wafflers". We'll use the excuse that now that Iraq has had "elections", our mission has succeeded and we can start pulling troops back. Just in time for the campaigns for the '06 elections.

My "Iraqi" (read: bull****) isn't that good. How's my translations? Did I miss anything?

23. The speech could very well
be like handing a person treading water a concrete block.
It is against the backdrop of domestic spying, looming Rove indictment, and an huge carbuncle of Republican corruption finally festering to the surface.

After this speech, I would not be surprised to see the ** approval numbers go below 35%, and the Impeachment numbers hit 50%.

28. Geez, that lil sucker is in full campaign mode again. I suppose he's
really got nothing to loose and from the poll numbers it seems to be working for him.

What is it with these people he can relate to? For most of us, with each speech he just looks more incompetent. But to that 40-some percent who start to admit that maybe they were wrong to support him, all it takes is a little pep talk and, bam, they're right back in his corner. They just keep going back, like some sort of abusive relationship. :crazy:

39. Go away Bush
No one believes anything you say anymore. We are sick and tired of your propaganda. Are you goind to tell us that you are a wonderful president, right up there with the rest of the outstanding presidents of our nation, going right back to Washington or Lincoln?

You bet. You are wonderful Mr. Murgatroyd. Just the most wonderful president ever, in spite of your lies, warmongering and murders of thousands of innocent people in order to bring "democracy and freedom" to the people of Iraq.

Not--Mr. Lying Bush.

You have determined that the best thing to do, in order to make a lot of money for yourself to pass on to your heirs, in this case, two dumassed skanks, is to lie to your own people. The ones you consider too dumb and who need to be reigned in, according to your neocon, Straussian philosophy on how to reign over those who you consider inferior because they are not as rich as that into which you were BORN into--(you have to admit that you did nothing at all to enhance your wealth from birth)

Go away. You have ruined this country and could care less and now we are to think that because you are going on tee vee to tell us all paeons that you are a wonderful leader and "war president" that you are just the most wonderful thing that ever happened to the world. And Condi will stand by that too!

Well Mr. dumass president, you have lied and you have smeared and you have ruled with stupidity and greed.

You will not be able to take away the outrage of the latest revelation that you SECRETLY , illigally, gave the NSA permission to spy upoon YOUR OWN people. Do you consider your OWN PEOPLE that much of your enemy? Apparently so, you stupid jerk.

Get out. We don't want this kind of fascism and we don't want a man with a limited IQ leading this country to ruin--leading this country into such barbaric practices--leading this country into such disgrace.

Go away and resign, or be impeached, because it is coming and you know it.

45. Wonder if bu$h* will pump his fist and say, "Feels good."
That's what he did right before his March 2003 speech from the Oval Office to announce the beginning of the massacre war.

"Moments before the camera began broadcasting to the nation, Knight-Ridder reported that Bush pumped his fist and said, 'Feels good.'"

57. "Mission Accomplished" -- AGAIN!
The Bushites are a bunch of total idiots.

Nobody but the Kool-aid drinkers like a smug, conceited politician opportunist ... like the Idiot-in-Chief.

George and Dick and Karl cannot even wait until the final results from the "election" are in before strutting like fat chicken(hawks) ... This will bomb big time.

The good thing is that we'll be able to use this "Mission Accomplished" address like we've used the last one -- to wring it around the warmonger's necks.

The address at 9 p.m. ET comes on the heels of a two-week, four-speech blitz to build support for a war that a majority of Americans now say was a mistake.

The White House said it was asking television networks for live coverage of the president’s address, expected to run less than 20 minutes.

73. Damn - he's going to preempt Desperate Housewives
where I'd hear more intelligent dialog than anything that he can say.

Oh well, I suppose I can hope that this will be the time he finally has a meltdown on live TV.

70. Shrub to give another "Major Speech"
Why do I always flash to that dumb "Christmas Story" movie when I hear that?

Anyway:

"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush will address the nation about Iraq on Sunday evening, his first speech from the Oval Office since he announced the beginning of the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.
The address at 9 p.m. ET comes on the heels of a two-week, four-speech blitz to build support for a war that a majority of Americans now say was a mistake.

The White House said it was asking television networks for live coverage of the president's address, expected to run less than 20 minutes."

72. He's going to pander
He's going to make up for the "Holidays" comment on the RNC-issued card with a big, fat "Merry X-mas" at the conclusion of the speech.

74. Time for a Pool -- How many times will he say... 9/11?
Other BUZZ words to count... The list may include but is not limited to

terror (or other forms: terra, terrorist, terist)
freedom (or free)
victory
stay-the-course (or something on that order)
independence
sacrifice
historic (or history)

I'm IN the pool for 9/11 = 5 times
Victory = 8
Freedom = 8
Terra = 3

and maybe he'll just skip "insurgents" and go directly to "bad guys"

75. Nation waits with bated breath for the daily load of bullshit
The great leader should be televised 24/7 in every home, office, and shop.

That will straighten you disagreeable people out and help win the war on the people who are sick of the war on the war over there so we don't have to torture them over here except for the deranged airline passengers who claim to have a bomb and don't.

Don't like you like free dumb for enslaved Iraqis? Iranians stole their ballots, not me.

83. "....we are now entering a critical period for our mission in Iraq,"
What? Have the previous 2.5 years been some sort of a dress rehearsal Scotty? Things haven't been critical in Iraq until now? Could it be that now that *'s poll numbers have tanked, now you are taking Iraq more seriously?

Just want to one word to the lexicon pool, posted much earlier: evil (evildoers etc). Grrrr

91. A mission is accomplished before it enters a critical period
And then it enters a holding period before it goes back to the initial period which precedes the temporary period that depends on the evaluation period, but the entire mission is always considered accomplished no matter what shitty period it is in.
