A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING
Shorthand Live Blog of President of the United State’s Speech on Iraq. I’m not sure he convinced anyone on this one tonight, not even himself. Has there ever been a Presidential Address in the usual Oval Office setting political PR Event in front of hand picked troops that so invigorated the nation fell so flat?
Here is the play by play:
Stand in front of troops. I have a dream plan. Commander in Chief. Rah, rah. A plan, a progress. Elections. September Eleventh. The Mission. September Eleventh. Hate. Innocent. Coalition. September Eleventh. Hail to the Troops. We were attacked. September Eleventh. Fight them there. Ideology of Hate. Not here. Rah, rah, Hail to the troops. God bless America. September Eleventh.
Maybe now people will give Bush the Downing Street Memos the deserved respect.
