Is tonight's speech bush's last chance, or will he get many more?

[Philosoraptor]

Have you heard this buzzphrase question today? Why should this suddenly be his last chance to fix Iraq? He's had all the chances in the world, and taking more chances seems to be the brilliant plan.

Who gives him all these last chances anyway?

[aquart]

1. Can't wait for the State of the Union address.

[Nite Owl]

5. Me too

I haven't watched in years but this time I can't wait to see Pelosi sitting in that chair behind him!

[Jack Rabbit]

2. His last chance has come and gone

I've made up my mind and so have many others.

I don't care what he says. I just want him and the Big Dick gone.

[malaise]

3. Bush's last chance has long past

Across the world tonight people will respond with a collective FUCK OFF W!

[Parisle]

4. It may be his last chance to prevail with a speech,.,..

--- Beyond that, he has "staged" terrorist events and expanded military attacks to fall back on.

[Nite Owl]

6. The only good thing about his giving

this speech is every time he gives one his numbers go down. This could finally get him into the 20's!

[Mandate My Ass]

7. Last chance my ass. He's had unchecked power for six years

and he'll continue to do what he wants, when he wants and for as long as he wants until 2009. Once these additional troops are sent, with the timeline of two + years to get back to "Mission Accomplished" he's home free in 2009.

Nice b.s. framing by the corporate media that he's ever experienced anything close to accountability, or ever will.

8. If this "surge" would improve the situation in Iraq, why didn't he do it sooner.

Because it won't improve the situation. It will just provide an excuse to not get out of Iraq now, and drag it out so the next guy inherit it in 2008.

[Annces]

9. It is a different ballgame

for sure. Rangel is sooo pissed.

[BurtWorm]

10. He will get as many chances as he wants to take in the time left to him

while he's in office. And the media certainly (and possibly even Congress) will let him take any and all of them.

[Cyrano]

11. Sorry, but I just don't have the stomach to watch the Bush sociopath spew

some meaningless truckload of roach dung tonight.

I'll catch it in the news tomorrow. But the real point is that anything that comes out of this man's mouth is meaningless blather. The worst part about it is that the media whores repeat it over and over and over as if they were words of wisdom, or maybe even gospel.

Will the human species ever learn to identify a fool, a sociopath, a clueless human being, and an individual whose only mission is self interest and screwing the rest of the human race? The clues to someone like Bush aren't all that deep.

Watch if you want to. As for me, I intend to spend this time in the pursuit of something useful, meaningful and fruitful. I'm going to play an old video of "Casablanca." So what are you planning to do?

[Philosoraptor]

12. I plan on watching it but only after slamming my tongue in a drawer

[Cyrano]

13. Bad idea. He's done enough damage to us. Don't do more to yourself.

[bigtree]

14. I do

:)

. . . it's mostly a rhetorical claim, but, Bush's position and the question of his political survival and viability is an inherently political one. He serves at our pleasure. Unfortunately, that same system affords him just enough room to stretch and breathe.

This is the same last stand that he faced months ago in Baghdad. He's still waging that stand, with the increasingly vain hope of rolling over the Iraqi resistance. The 'last stand' that I'm referring to here is with the American people. I fully expect his Iraq policy to collapse underneath him tonight. Wish us luck!


Primetime Escalation Is Bush's Last Stand In Iraq

In a blurb of idiocy and bluster tonight, Bush will lay out his ambitions for the future of his Iraq folly - bare for the world to gauge and judge by his own deluded lecturing, and by his own feeble logic.
