"He keeps saying the same thing over and over" Murtha on Bush
Repetitious, Yes, but They Didn't Cut and Run

By Dana Milbank

Thursday, December 15, 2005; Page A19

In the end, everybody agreed: They had seen this movie before.

For the 22nd time in a speech as president, Bush said we would not "cut and run" in Iraq. For the 28th time, he said Iraq was "the central front" in the war on terrorism. And, for the 100th time, Bush promised that "we will prevail" against the terrorists.

Saddam Hussein failed to meet the "just demands" of the world, Bush said for the 14th time, according to a search of the White House's Web site. Congress saw "the same intelligence" about Iraq's weapons as Bush did, he said for the 102nd time. "Free nations are peaceful nations," he said for the 19th time.

For the 21st time, the president affirmed that the world's most dangerous men should not have the "world's most dangerous weapons." For the 33rd time, he extolled the "spread of freedom." And, for the 126th time in a speech as president, he said capitulation to terrorists will not "happen on my watch."

2. Bush is nothing but a broken record
I don't even watch his speeches anymore as much as it pained me to in the first place, I actually want to hear what he thinks so I can critique it and analyze the logic behind his reasoning.

6. Glad he took the time in these last four speeches
to clarify the issues. Sheesh.

Several Republicans in Congress were asked yesterday if they had listened to his speech...seems they were all too busy. I guess turning the country into a police state with the Patriot Act and cutting necessary social programs demands their full attention.
