Reply #29: You are missing reality [View All]

Where have you been? Seriously have you been in a cave for 3 years? What in the past 3 years could possibly justify you thinking that suddenly the nation and press are going to turn on Bush. It is an absolute fantasy on your part. Yes him having to speak shows us that he is on the defensive. It may read as defensive to some people. It wont put an end to claims that the war wasnt a mistake, it wont swing public opinion in a day and odds are, he will at the very least throw some new spin into the fray as an obstacle to his opposition.

We are talking about an administration that has been blatently lying and revising history for their entire time in office. Yet you seem to think that somehow the walls will all come crumbling down because he makes a defsive speech? Were you one of the people that thought the 16 words would sink bush? That was certainly a heck of a lot bigger a deal than the fact that he is making a speech while under fire yet they managed to get through that pretty well. I am not saying that Bush is going to get away from his mistakes, but it will take more than simply the fact he makes a speech to bring him down.

Its great to be an optimist, but this is a bit much.
