So * strategy to gain support is to defend the war & blast its critics?

In Bush's big speech today he defended his war in Iraq and blasted it's critics, primarily those who understood he was rushing into war with faulty intelligence? Does the chimp really think that this strategy will push up his approval ratings--even as three more soldiers were killed in Iraq today?

1. All of his speeches are cut-n-paste.

Everything sounds exactly the same. "Fight them over there..." "They hate us for our freedom...." He has no imagination and I doubt anything he said impressed anybody.

7. He's criticizing almost two-thirds of the country when he blasts those

who don't think we should have started this fucked-up imperialistic mass murder.

8. He failed to mention that the vote

was not for war straight off, but for inspections followed by a return to the UN. dubby stands alone now on his great war, unless he pins it on GFY cheney and PNAC.
