Bush Address to the Nation - 12:15 PM ET
Edited on Sun Dec-14-03 12:19 PM by goobergunch
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush is scheduled to deliver a formal television address Sunday in the noon hour (ET) about the capture of toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, the White House said.

"The president believes this is very good news for the Iraqi people. He's very happy for the Iraqi people," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

"Saddam Hussein was a brutal oppressive dictator and responsible for decades of atrocities, and the Iraqi people can finally be assured that Saddam Hussein will not be coming back, they can see it for themselves."

Discuss here. Address postponed until 12:15 PM.

3. I will bet anyone $100 that he will be sure to mention 9-11 a few times
But he will be careful not to explicitly say they are linked, and the American people will get exactly the opposite impression from it. Got to keep reinforcing that meme.

4. Can we get a running commentary, please?
I'm ill enough without having to listen to that nauseating voice, and besides I prefer the MST3K treatment DU gives to speeches. ^^;;

12. Baathists
"For the Baathist holdouts largtely responsible for the current violence, there will be no return to the corrupt power and privilege they once held."

Saying that all Iraqis now have hope and should reject violence.
