Bush making new push to bolster support for Iraq

How many times has this been posted? "Bush making new push on Iraq."

Push Bush would be a better idea.

This is what it's all about any way. Bush and his friends just keep getting richer at the expense of the middle class.

72% of the American public won't be that easily swayed. :rofl:

Another round of simplistic speeches where the Crawford Coward repeats over and over again that he "understands" the most elementary points: Terrorists bad, freedom good. A strategy for victory in Iraq? Gee, that's nice George; we've only been entangled there for three fucking years. You finally decided it's time for a strategy?

I understand.

the Barney/armadillo, U.S./terrorists analogy.

"The killers dug themselves into a hole in Iraq, and we've got them where we want them now, see."

We have a strategy?

He is delusional if he thinks "his words" will help sway opinions

"cakewalk."

No one could have anticipated (fill in the blank)

And if no one could have anticipated it - it can't be anyone's fault

that's ALL "lessons learned" means

Yeah - we fucked up - but it's not our fault - so we are going to do this (and "this" ALWAYS means the continuation of the very thing that's being fucked up)

thats what I said - 'cept I used more words. :)

And for what? What a complete ass. :mad:

the fairy godmother just retired

I enthusiastically support his new push. :evilgrin:

he just did this a few months ago

if it didn't involve a huge waste of my tax dollars on AF1 traveling around to captive military bases with thousand dollar backdrops.

Why does he bother? Each new speech makes him seem more and more out of touch.

Sure would keep him out of trouble and remind everyone what they have currently occupying the WH.

Does he think that just saying things makes them true?

May he continue to tank in the polls.

getting worried for a minute there. Great News!:sarcasm:

Bush Goes on Offensive To Explain War Strategy
Speeches to Combat Public Pessimism

By Michael A. Fletcher
Washington Post Staff Writer


....The initiative is modeled on a similar effort the White House rolled out in November and December, when Bush gave four speeches, acknowledging setbacks, pointing out how the military had adapted its strategy and highlighting the administration's plans for victory. That effort, coupled with the success of another round of elections in Iraq, helped the president's approval rating to rebound a little, before it fell again amid the latest wave of violence.

Bush's planned speeches on Iraq come as that nation's fledgling democracy is struggling to put together a unity government against a backdrop of intense sectarian violence. The bombing of a revered Shiite shrine in Samarra on Feb. 22 ignited a series of attacks and counterattacks that have killed hundreds and brought the nation to the brink of civil war.

"There are some who are trying to, obviously, sow the seeds of sectarian strife," Bush said, during remarks to a group of community newspaper publishers yesterday. "They fear the advancement of a democracy. They blow up shrines in order to cause this Iraqi democracy that is emerging to go backwards, to not emerge."

Bush praised Iraqis for so far not escalating the ongoing crisis into a full-fledged civil war. "As I said earlier, there was -- no question there was violence and killing, the society took a step back from the abyss," Bush said. "And people took a sober reflection about what a civil war would mean."

Keep it up Baby Bush, and you'll be in the 20's in a few months.

Me or the author of that article?

i like this much better than them coming up with yet another racist/sexist/homophobic/christofascist distraction issue like freedom fries or flag burning....

More Americans than ever will be convinced of the futility of inCurious George's Misadventure.

"That effort, coupled with the success of another round of elections in Iraq, helped Bush's approval rating to rebound a little, before it fell again amid the latest wave of violence".

You know what that reminds me of? An old rattle-trap car which is on its last gasps. You're constantly fixing it, putting in some air in the old tires which are about to go flat, pouring in some oil so the engine won't explode.

It doesn't matter because the old heap is about to die, anyway.
* * * * *

Also, notice Bush's words, "people took a SOBER reflection" SHAME on Bush for using that word, the drunk.

death.

The American people are feeling the pinch and won't go for any more of junior's two for a nickle one for dime bullshit.

That's the paradym Mad George us working under. Unfortunately, when the people start laughing when they hear it, that particular paradym has lost it's kick.

Time to get some new writers, George.

Yes, people are laughing now. But, it took many more years for the tide to really turn re: the Vietnam conflict. We have much more work to do.
