Thanks for the clarification, Maha. Yes, Bush does sometimes get emotional in his speeches (somebody said he actually got teary!).

But I attribute that to his being a Cancer. Lord knows they’re an emotional bunch, even on their good days.

Sousa instead of Clint Blackwood? Bush is out of touch with the kick ass, take names later spirit of America. I know Sousa was good at getting us pumped up, but his music doesn’t invoke god. How are we to understand the righteousness of our cause in Iraq without the endorsement of god through song.

Bush’s speech is just a rehash of the same old bullshit…except he does make the newly formed death squads sound rather lofty. Bush is peddling fantasy.

I remember years ago having an attitude about buying boots for the Contras when I couldn’t afford to put shoes on my own children. Now Bush is asking for an additional 3.? billion dollars to buy uniforms for the Iraqi death squads. It pisses me off big time..What happened to all that oil money that Wolfkowitz said was supposed to finance this debacle.

CUT AND RUN WITH IT

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED again. As poll numbers fall as Iraqis stand up, we will run as fast as we can we will stand down. Victory kind of is ours. Do not look at that request for yet more money the

Or, if not hopeful, at least upbeat.

He’s quoting Joe Lieberman.

He’s not. He and Lieberman are both quoting Frank Luntz, or someone else who’s been given the task of finding pretty words to make “Stay the course” sound hopeful.

He was more pulled together than he’s been in other recent speeches. As has been noted in the past, when he actually believes what he’s saying he is less spastic. Seemed emotional.
