Bush likely to give prime time Iraq address

WASHINGTON (CNN) – President Bush will "very likely" speak to the nation about the latest developments and conditions in Iraq during a prime time address next week, a senior administration official tells CNN’s Ed Henry.

An exact date and location for the speech have not been chosen yet.

According to the official, the speech will summarize the findings of Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker's report, and attempt to re-frame the larger debate as Congress prepares to vote on timetables to withdraw U.S. troops from the country.

1. The exact date hasn't been chosen because they will need to

get their polling done on the reaction to the booga, booga, booga, Osama's gonna git ya video, imo.

7. Why don't the Networks just run one of his old speeches??

I mean, nowadays, very few people give a shit what he has to say anyway...

[HughMoran]

8. Shit head - doesn't he know that he just makes 70% of the nation angry when he speaks?

What a waste of perfectly good airtime.

[defendandprotect]

9. Just guessing that Bush will also be hitting Iran --- ???

[dweller]

11. he'll be letting the nation know

that we are in Iraq for a long time, regardless of who the next president is, whether we like it or not.

Break out the beer and the chips! There's nothing like watching Chimpy McSmirky make an ass out of himself on the global stage....

(Really -- we can't stand to watch, it makes us cry.)

13. "An exact date and location for the speech...

have not been chosen yet." i wonder why...........well
they will have to rest him for a few days to deconfuse him and orient him to where he is at. then the task of actually getting his speech and demeaner to the point where he at least on the surface he looks and sounds rational.....it`s hard work!

14. gotta admit they are masters of PR and spin - will binLaden be standing next to bush? nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. The only thing that could save his sorry ass at this time

is Bin Laden's head on a platter

After that....

I am betting he will be anniouncing why Iran's next... after all it is the next front in the war on terror, don't you know?

They forgot to send you the memo?

[rainbow4321]

16. Let me guess....the eve of 9/11

Gotta keep that "9/11 = Iraq" going, going, going....
