Bush telegraphs punches, targets sheep, "orchestrates" Monday's speech

How transparent will George Bush become before he just drifts away on the breeze like a whiff of smoke from a bad cigar?

3). "focus instead on the future of post-occupation Iraq."
4). "a tightly orchestrated public relations effort"
5). "create some movement in a different direction"
6). "Sure there'll still be plenty of arguments, but it will be about the future, and that's a healthy change"
7). "The diplomatic campaign is a response to serious reversals over the past two months and to growing turmoil."
8). "The road ahead could get bumpier."
9). ""I am very hopeful that the president and his administration will articulate precisely what is going to happen as much as they can, day by day, as opposed to a generalization."
10). "Bush will particularly try to counter growing criticism that Washington has lowered the goal posts for its year-long occupation"
11). "Critics and Iraq experts have charged that the administration has backed down from its original pledge to create a strong new democracy"
12). "He will talk about the importance of not lowering our sights and sticking to our goals of a free, peaceful, democratic Iraq"
13). "To get around French and German demands, the United States may offer to give Iraq the authority to decide whether it wants foreign forces to continue to provide security"
14). "To turn the tide, the Bush administration also hopes to generate movement on the two other most pressing issues in the volatile Middle East -- the Palestinian-Israeli crisis and the U.S. democracy initiative for the greater Middle East."

16). "To shore up the coalition, Bush will also begin hosting leaders of countries that have troops in Iraq. The United States is intent on stopping contributing nations from pulling out after the June 30 handover"

chances are this one will tank too, everything they touch lately has turned to shit

Don't forget, his instructions come from a higher power.

Nothing to see, move along. Keep it moving.

The speech would be a whole lot shorter if he put it in a nutshell - let's forget about the bad stuff and look to the future. We fucked up and it's likely to get worse, but think of all the children we saved from this madman.

After this, ew're going after the Amish. I mean, what kind of monsters are they anyway. No electricity or TV - how is a child in murrica supposed to live without American Idol?
