Bush plans 'major speech' on Iraq, terrorism

[NeoConsSuck]

When your ratings are swirling around the toilet, play the TERROR card!


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. and Iraqi troops are on the offensive against insurgents who want to disrupt Iraq's October 15 vote on a new constitution, President Bush said Wednesday, and he plans to give a detailed speech on the progress of the broader conflict against terrorism Thursday.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush will give a "major speech" Thursday to the National Endowment for Democracy on the progress of the war. The president will address the connection between Iraq and the broader war against the al Qaeda terrorist network "in greater detail than he has before," McClellan said.

"He will talk about how is a group of people that have a very clear strategy for driving us out of the Middle East, for creating a safe haven in the Middle East -- a safe haven from which they can plan and plot attacks on the rest of the civilized world and a safe haven from which they can seek to overthrow moderate governments in the Middle East," McClellan said.

60. why 10:00 pm et?

why so late at night? isn't he usually in bed by then?

[MichiganVote]

2. If he made as many trips to Iraq as he has made to the Gulf

his words might mean something to someone in this country. As it is, we all know the same BS will be spewing as last year and the year before. The never ending waste of time and resources called---George Bush

[pokercat999]

40. IMHO every breath he takes is a waste of air.

[truebrit71]

3. And if there's a God, Fitzgerald will hold a press conference at the very.

..same time announcing multiple indictments...

Oh, and as for the speech, Smirky McCokester, we've heard it all before...and we ain't buyin'..

[Skink]

6. How about a round of indictments before and after the speech..

[truebrit71]

8. That would be fine too!!

..because God knows we've heard this retread of a Turr speech how many times before...

[Jim Sagle]

19. How 'bout if w gets handcuffed and dragged off the podium?

:beer:

[satya]

29. Thank you for putting that image in my head. Gives me hope. n/t

[kestrel91316]

44. If that happens I'm closing up the office and having a CHAMPAGNE

PARTY!!!!!!!!!!! Free bubbly for the staff (sorry, none for the kitties).

:party: :toast: :bounce:

[Carla in Ca]

56. If we get lucky, the list of

indictments will be as long as the speech!

[liveoaktx]

7. I don't even care if it's the same time-just sometime tomorrow

imagine Chimp's distraction while trying to scare the fool out of the audience!

[truebrit71]

11. You know what would be even better, is if Cokey McChimpster had....

..to cancel the speech because he just got indicted!!!

Man, that would be great!!

[kestrel91316]

45. No, no I want him to get informed about the indictments minutes before

his speech, so he has to give the speech and he will be all pale and shaky and have a nervous breakdown right on LIVE TV.

[Parche]

4. vote

I thought they already voted on a constitution?
How many times are they going to vote

Is this the same thing as "We killed the number 2 Al Kida guy"

And who in the hell cares if they vote, 1900 US soldiers is
not worth Iraqi people getting to vote.

[liveoaktx]

5. Yuh-huh. WHO brought the terrorists to Iraq? what a pinhead

one of the reporters at the WH Briefing today asked Scotty if Bush really believed that saying this stuff again to the public was going to change their minds?

I mean, does Bush think people are stupid enough that his idiotic repetition will do the trick? He couldn't even get the numbers right on the battalions.

[Dr Fate]

9. Maybe we will all get a "Major Award"

n/t

[Solly Mack]

10. slowly swinging the shiny keys of distraction - you are getting sleepy

terror.....terror....terror...terror...

sleepy...sleepy...sleepy

(forget the economy. forget the indictments.forget the deaths. forget New Orleans. forget I lied.)

sleepy...sleepy...sleepy...


and a bunch of people whisper "shiny keys" in a slumbering voice...then they sway ever so slightly while beginning a soft chant of

terror...terror...terror...

[Straight Shooter]

37. Wow, that's really good, Solly Mack.

I was sitting there, swayin' away. Had to slap my own face to snap out of it.

[Solly Mack]

63. I was swaying when I typed it. lol

:)

[Brundle_Fly]

46. terror....terror.....bird flu.....terror.....

new thing to worry about that isn't news yet.

"Keep the population scared and they'll consume." - Marilyn Manson

[Solly Mack]

64. and consume themselves right out of survival at that

:hi:

[Kablooie]

12. Oh Boy! I'll bet he'll tell us we are winning big time!

That'll teach them durned furriners who's king of the hill, top of the mark, tip of the top, and master of all they see.

They are.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Because he's in REAL major trouble. Too little, too late.

[Fridays Child]

14. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. He plans to declare Marcia law.

Terra, terra, terra makes this necessary.

[Demeter]

68. I Think You Got The Makings Of A Platinum Album There

who will do the tunes? Not Dylan, maybe Simon and Garfunkel?

[anotherdrew]

15. getting killed by a terrorist worse than by a phone-distracted SUV driver?

bush can shove it, he and all his are a bunch of ignorant jackassses I wouldn't trust to be dog catcher much less president. If they say the sky is blue... it must be night, all they do is lie lie lie.

[Imalittleteapot]

16. They're baaaack.

Terrorists that is. Not surprising with all of the GOP scandals. :scared: :woohoo:

[UpInArms]

17. broader detail??? What?? Is he going to add another errrr mmmm

or facial tic to the three word sentence -

Iraq - 9/11 - terror ?

[thecrow]

21. I do hope he learns to speak the English language first.

Maybe Tony could give him some pointers on grammar ?

[ismnotwasm]

22. Crap

Blah, blah "Americans" blah, blah "terrists" blah, blah "freedom" blah, blah "stay the course" blah blah blah "we are making progress" blah, blah "terrists" blah, blah (stutters mangles a few words)"duty" blah, blah (throws out a few names of specific areas and people that he had to practice HOURS to pronounce)"Americans" blah, blah "I have" blah, "I will" blah, blah "Schools, blah, "Iraqi women" blah, "roads" "Iraqi constitution" blah, blah, blah.
Why am I torturing myself this way?

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

27. ismnotwasm has a transcript already...But do you think he practices..

his speaches?...IMO he doesn't seem like he has ever read most of the stuff he is told to say.

[ismnotwasm]

32. It doesn't seem like it

I always get that "I really don't give shit what you think, I'm the president and It's my ball and I'll take it home when I want to" Vibe from him. Can't be bothered with anything like coherency.

[ninkasi]

54. Don't forget resolve...

He's very big on saying that having our loved ones slaughtered in Iraq won't weaken his "resolve". If he feels that strongly, let him urge his daughters to enlist. Let Freepers urge their children to enlist, or enlist themselves. It's easy to talk about resolve when you are sending others to die or be maimed. Let them put their lives, and the lives of their children, on the line they are trying to force on the rest of us.
After all, he thinks it's a "noble cause."

[Magleetis]

23. SSDD

same shit different day.

[Plaid Adder]

24. Oooh! A major speech!! That'll bring those last throes right on!

Run and hide, terrorists of Iraq!

For Christ's sake...same shit, different week. How long will it take these people to figure out that giving speeches does not actually win the war?

Don't answer, I know,

The Plaid Adder

[Old and In the Way]

26. It's a PSA....just because 1/6 of our country is wasted and 1000 people

have died......PLEASE DO NOT FORGET ABOUT TERRISTS! IF YOU DO, YOU MIGHT START THINKING ABOUT OTHER THINGS....AND THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR MY, I MEAN, OUR SECURITY.

BTW, where'd that color coded terror chart go? Did Tom take it home with him?

[cantstandbush]

28. Please pay attention terrorists and don't even think about two spies

recently uncovered....just keep your eyes on the Rovian balls that bounce around the media.

[AuntiBush]

51. Yup. That's It! DIVERSION & FEAR Tactics, again and again

and again...

[Weembo]

30. Didn't the MSM stop carrying Clinton's "major" speeches?

I wish the powers that be would use the backbone they allegedly grew as a result of the Katrina coverage to institute a similar embargo.

[NYC Liberal]

31. Oh right. Because all the other 'major speeches' have done so well!

I still remember that planned series of 5 or 6 speeches on Iraq about his "plan." Yet they only did one, because none of the news channels even covered it since nobody watched any of his other ones.

[JerseygirlCT]

33. Poll numbers still in the toilet, George?

That's the only time his highness speaks to us little people.

And the fun part is that every time he does, those numbers go farther down. You'd think even he would learn.

[hadrons]

34. other than his man-bitch Tweety, is anyone looking forward to this?

[DrZeeLit]

35. Surprise? Another "major" speech? A crock... & McClellan garbles another

sentence. Or mangles.

What the hell does he mean in that last bit?

They're all idiots.
How can they even possible think that anyone is going to listen?
They've cried wolf too many times.
And maybe we're not all sheep, eh?

I hope none of the channels carry this b.s.

[NightOwwl]

36. Bird Flu! Terra! Bird Flu! Terra!

You're all going to dieeeeeeeee!!!!! Democrats bad! Republicans good! I'll keep you safe!


:boring:

[Orsino]

38. A major speech...

...that will propose the bold new plan of continuing exactly what he's been doing. This is big news!

[tabasco]

39. Hahahahahaha!! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

:boring:

[54anickel]

41. Uh-oh - he said the Iraqi troops are doing a "fine job". Does that mean

they are about to get canned?

Seems that * has set Lt. Gen. David Petraeus on message.

Petraeus said later that only one Iraqi battalion -- about 750 troops -- is capable of operating independent of coalition support.

But he said about 35 battalions are capable of taking the lead in operations with U.S. troops, and many of those second-tier units have assumed control over cities in southern Iraq and parts of Baghdad.

Even third-tier troops are capable of "thickening" the capabilities of coalition forces by manning checkpoints and serving as guides or interpreters for U.S. troops, Petraeus told reporters at the Pentagon after his meeting with Bush.

[Bravo411]

42. And how will it differ from any of the other speaches

It's always the same thing, 9/11 ...war on terror...fight them over there...9/11....Al Queda....Iraq...9/11...spreading freedom....fredom is on the march....enemy...Iraq....9/11...Al Queda...etc...etc...

Every damn speach is the same.

[deadparrot]

43. Break out the Bush Bingo cards!

[onehandle]

47. I smell sixteen more words to bury sixteen indictments. nt

[hatrack]

48. Let me help you save 25 minutes of your valuable time

"'Murica cannot falter in tne war on terra."

"'Murica thought it was immune from terra."

"9/11 proved that wrong."

"Saddam Hussein, terra, terra, fear, democracy, terra, freedom, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, 9/11, terra."

"Terra, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, terra, resolve, I strongly b'lieve that (fill in the blank), terra, terra."

(Post-"Uhhhhhhhhhh" pause for coke jaw waggling)

"Saddam Hussein, bird flu, Britney Spears, Karen Hughes, terra, space shuttle, terra, freedom, democracy, terra."

"Terra, bird flue, New Orleans, 'Murica's at war, tax cuts, terra, energy conservation, terra, freedom terra."

"God bless 'Murica"

There, wasn't that easy?

[IndianaGreen]

50. Thank you hatrack, you saved me the trouble of watching TV

Now, let's get back to Cheney's speech about taking decades to win the war in Iraq...

[myomy]

65. Will have to admit you made more sense than the "original" wordsmith.

.

[AintIgreat]

49. He is going to declare war on the birds for spreading the flu

[spacelady]

52. RAWK! Polly want a bird flu, Rawk! Terra Terra, Rawk! Where's my

distraction, Scotty, Rawk! Boy Do I RAWK!

[Amonester]

66. ROFLMAO!! :-)))))))))))))

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:yourock:

[Kool Kitty]

53. Gee, I'm almost sorry that I have to work and will miss

what I am sure will be a stunning speech. Probably go like this, right?

September 11-terra-bird flu-military-September 11-war on terra-September 11-Katrina-September 11-democracy-September 11-freedom-September 11-constitution-September 11-terra-September 11-bird flu-September 11...............

[Gloria]

55. I hope the indictments come down and can blow this jerk out of the water

eom

[HuffleClaw]

57. this will be an excuse-laden speech

seeing as their best laid plans to impose a bush-brand constitution on them is going to fail and that they are rapidly reaching the 'official' 200 killed mark in casualties. they'll blame, 'foreign fighters' (even though that myth has already been put to rest, but truth has never gotten in their way before), the terra-ists, and most of all, the sunnis. oh, and iran and syria. expect to hear lots about their 'interference in the democratic process'. this one will be a classic i bet. i also expect to hear whining about an 'activist judiciary' seeing as the boom is about to fall.

[Hardrada]

58. Are these speeches some kind of jerking-off for him?

He seems to have a need to pleasure himself with them and not care how we recoil from the obscenity.

[The_Casual_Observer]

59. I'll be too busy doing important stuff like sweeping the driveway

to watch that dimwit spin yet another yarn about why we are in Iraq. This time it's the part about how the bad Arabs want to kick us out of the Middle East so that they can have a safe haven to attack us from. It's taken years for them to morph this message, but it still doesn't cut it, because the logical extension of this "reasoning" would have us occupying ever square mile of the entire Middle East. Nice try, asshole.

[pinniped]

61. That FCKR should tattoo his stupid forehead with this crap...

because one would surely tire of repeating the same BS over and over.

But, give stupid* enough snort and Jack Daniels and he will do push-ups on the WH roof.

[Amonester]

67. His "hidden" tattoo:

:evilfrown: :evilgrin: :evilfrown: :evilgrin: :evilfrown: :evilgrin: :evilfrown: :evilgrin: :evilfrown:

[pinniped]

69. He has even taken Hollywood by storm.

[Javaman]

62. Unless he* annouces we are leaving, it's more bullshit.
