if bush whines and apologizes even more he might as well resign now.
the media hates him. he has to attack the media and tell the public what is right in iraq. he has to make the media the issue. if he doesnt, nothing else he will say will amount to a hill of beans, because the media will just go on reporting non-stop anti-bush hate propaganda. make the issue the media, or drop out, mr bush. i am afraid he will blow it tonight.

BUSH'S SPEECH TONIGHT

In a nationally televised address tonight at the Army War College in Carlisle, PA, President Bush is expected to lay out his plans for Iraq. The White House has not asked the broadcast networks to carry it, so it looks like it will only be on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC. Which is probably a good idea politically for the president, since more people sadly care about watching their shows than they do hearing what the president has to say about Iraq. There's no sense in creating a backlash from people who just can't miss "Everyone Loves Raymond", or whatever the name of that wonderful Hollywood touch of reality is. We also have the season finale of "The Swan." Yet another show I haven't seen.

All day long you are going to be hearing the talking heads in the media advising us of what the president "needs to say" and what he "has to do." Whatever Bush says tonight will not be good enough for the media, no matter what he says. The only thing we can hope is that people actually watch the speech, and it gets through the thick skulls of the general public (at least the ones that are watching it.) But it will change no minds in the media, so expect non-stop negative spin.

It's interesting how the media and liberals continue to insist Bush is 'running out of time' in Iraq. Running out of time for what? We are still on track for the June 30th handover, which has been planned for months. Despite what the headlines say, much Iraq is at peace. What are they talking about? The answer is that they don't care about America's success in the war on terror, all they care about is the defeat of President George W. Bush for re-election. They believe failure in Iraq would ensure that defeat.

Such is their hatred for the man that they will do anything to limit him to a single term.

Blunt, but true.

Go Bush!

I'll be watching.

I really don't understand why the WH didn't ask the broadcast networks to cover it. It'll reach a bigger audience.

exactly. the media is our enemy, and if bush wont attack them, he might as well resign. if he were to blast into the hated media he would win big. i am afraid though, he will give a bland boring speech that the media will promptly savagely attack and rip apart. bush has to tell the american public the media is the enemy. i am mystified that he just acepts the media lies and distortions and passively sits back and does nothing

They'll defintely rip it apart. They always do. The media loved Clinton but hates Bush. Surprise, surprise.

yep, i agree. thats why bush needs to rip them apart

Helen, what time is Bush's speech tonight? I'll be watching it!

Actually, the only person I've heard doing this is Helen!

I'm hoping for a "tad" bit more aggressiveness tonight. I hope and pray I don't hear "stay the course", one more time. Also.....as Bill O has pointed out.....at least mention the gasoline crisis. The people have shown they love a President who can "feel their pain", and if Bush doesn't at least acknowledge this problem, he stands to duplicate the fate his Dad suffered. A sensible person realizes that this problem is not even in the top 4 or 5 issues, but it matters not. The flock wants to hear some concern.

I agree!! Let's hope he mentions this.

Geez, first he interrupts American Idol, now he interrupts The Swan...basically the only 2 shows I watch during prime time. Could his timing be ANY worse???

Don't get your undies in a knot. I don't think your Swan show will be interrupted because the regular networks aren't carrying it.




Btw, I wouldn't expect anything on the gasoline situation tonight.

He will lay out "specific steps we are taking to move forward on the transition toward a free, democratic and and peaceful Iraq," McClellan said. They are:

_Working with the United Nations in naming interim government leaders.

_Eliminating security threats and bolstering Iraqi police forces.

_Rebuilding the country by focusing on reconstructing infrastructure.

_Broadening international support, primarily through a U.N. resolution that will detail the June 30 handover of power to a new Iraqi government and outline how much say Iraqis will have over armed forces in their country. The United States and Britain presented a new U.N. resolution Monday that would transfer "governing authority" in Iraq to a sovereign interim government by June 30 and authorize a multinational force to maintain peace with Iraqis' consent.
