It's de ja vu all over again! "A series of speeches..."

[EarlG]

October 13, 2003: Monday's interviews marked the second phase an administration public relations offensive on Iraq that began last week with a series of speeches by Mr. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and even first lady Laura Bush.

May 21, 2004: President Bush will deliver an "important speech" about the transfer of political power in Iraq on Monday night, a White House spokesman said Friday. Bush's address, to be delivered at 8 p.m. at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, will be the first in a series of prime-time speeches intended to lay out the way forward in Iraq, according to White House officials.

September 1, 2005: Facing declining domestic support for the war in Iraq, Mr. Bush has embarked on a series of speeches aimed at shoring up public opinion on why the United States must finish the job there.

December 14, 2005: President Bush Wednesday delivers the last in a series of speeches about his strategy for success in Iraq ahead of Thursday's elections for a new Iraqi assembly. Mr. Bush has made three speeches on Iraq over the past few weeks, each focusing on one of the three elements of what he says is the way forward in Iraq by making progress in security, politics, and the economy.

March 11, 2006: President Bush plans to begin a series of speeches next week again explaining the administration's strategy for winning the war in Iraq, as the White House returns to a familiar tactic to allay growing public pessimism about the war that has helped keep the president's approval rating near its historic low.

Tune in later this year when George W. Bush will give the latest in a series of a series of speeches to explain why we're still winning the war in Iraq.

1. I wish chimp would shut up. And besided, I get tired of having to change

the channel.

[Kurovski]

2. If at first you don't succeed, lie, lie again.

That's about the size of it for BushCo.

[laheina]

3. They're dragging out Pickles?

What does she have to say about Iraq?

[Neil Lisst]

4. If you haven't seen the slurring version of Bush speaking ...

I think it was Leno who had it, but I can't really remember which late night show had a segment of Bush talking at one of his press conferences. They slowed it down, and you could just hear a drunken Bush saying his same old crap.

Every Friday speech sounds like the one he made the week before.

Bush has figured out that any time he gives a speech, it will get major coverage. And he's figured out no matter how low his poll numbers get, he's stil president and can do whatever he wants.

[Kurovski]

5. Drunks do have a tedious habit of repeating themselves. (nt)

[Jersey Devil]

6. Bush just can't accept that he's lost his mojo

He just don't do that voodoo that he do so well anymore.

[leftstreet]

7. He needs to do Fireside Chats

George + beer + pretzels + flames = I'd definitely watch!

[SongOfTheRayne]

9. Is it okay if the flames are just people being burned alive?

[Maraya1969]

8. It's like Ground Hog day

11. Bush, you have lost all credibility with the American people.

[Kablooie]

12. You can never get enough of his inspirational speechs!H

[democrank]

13. Great!

Bush`s various "stra-tee-gery" announcements give citizens a step-by-step guideline for their trepidation management. Any word yet on who has been awarded the contract for backdrop design? Will there be eight flags or ten? Maybe Laura will release six white doves of peace on some farmland in Kansas. Brilliant! Bring it on!

14. three years AFTER invading

and he's still trying to "sell" the war

what's wrong with this picture?

[MaineDem]

15. It worked so well with Social Security reform, no?

Hand the man a shovel!

[C_U_L8R]

16. We're paying for this dunce

and his silly PR campaigns.
We should demand no more photo ops.
In fact.. I think Bush should go to either/both
Iraq and New Orleans and not come back until
he cleans up the messes he created.

17. but each time he asks for more war funding ...

the Congress says "sure, why not" ... the final score: 97 - 0 ... i'm afraid this leaves us with the old "people in glass houses" maxim ...

The Senate today passed a defense spending bill that provides an extra $50 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and includes an amendment -- opposed by the White House -- that prohibits the mistreatment of detainees in U.S. custody.

Rushing to complete the bill before leaving for a 10-day recess, senators voted 97-0 to approve the $440 billion measure, which funds military operations for the 2006 fiscal year that began Oct. 1. <skip>

If the final bill includes the full $50 billion in extra war funding, it would push spending in Iraq and Afghanistan since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to more than $360 billion.
