Bush going back to that "9/11" well..............

WASHINGTON - President Bush will address the nation at 9 p.m. EST Wednesday about his new approach for the war in Iraq, the White House said. Bush is expected to announce an increase of up to 20,000 additional U.S. troops.

Bush's decisions, more than two months in the making, already are drawing criticism from new Democratic leaders in Congress who say it is time to begin ending the war, not to send in more U.S. forces.

Now in its fourth year, the war has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 members of the U.S. military and was a major factor in the Republicans' loss of Congress in the November election. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told Bush in a letter last week that "we do not believe that adding more U.S. combat troops contributes to success."

White House press secretary Tony Snow said Monday that Bush "understands there is a lot of public anxiety" about the war. On the other hand, he said that Americans "don't want another Sept. 11" type of terrorist attack and that it is wiser to confront terrorists overseas in Iraq and other battlegrounds rather than in the United States.

Snow said he contacted television networks Monday morning to request air time for the president's speech, to be delivered at the White House. He said the administration welcomes a debate about Bush's new policy.

it will be is another version of *staying the course.* Criminal

WOO HOO! W scores a new personal best! Two months staring into the headlights without moving!

.

terrorists are TOO STUPID to figure out that gee while the US military is quagmired in Iraq, there's NO ONE GUARDING AMERICA.

So stupid, terrorists will just hie on off to Iraq to fight against the #1 military the world has ever known, rather than hop on over to UNGUARDED AMERICA!

Terrorists WANT to attack against the world's best military! They don't want to commit acts of terrorism against innocent people, noooo they WANT to attack an entire military! In Iraq!

Now if only terrorists truly were as stupid as rightwingnuts.

and the media laps it up like a hungry puppy - "new strategy" " new policy" "new approach" (more than two months in the making!!). Fortunately, I think the American public has quit listening and hopefully will not be influenced by this nonsense. Now if we could only get the media to call a spade a spade.

None of us should fill our beautiful minds with *'s address.

When you give this evil devil a stage it just boosts his ego.
