President Bush will address the fourth anniversary of the Iraq invasion in a speech today at the White House.

During this morning’s press gaggle, Tony Snow told reporters that Bush will use the speech to attack the House plan for Iraq as a “recipe for defeat” that would “provide a victory for the enemy.”

CNN’s Ed Henry told Snow that since he was attacking the House plan, he should explain the Bush administration’s “recipe for success.” According to Henry, Snow “tried to turn it around on me,” asking Henry what his recipe for success was. When Henry objected to Snow’s question, Snow told him to “zip it.”

1. You have to admit, Tony Snow is the perfect person for the job.

His job is to inform the press of the White House position on everything. "Zip it" pretty much sums it up. America: Mr. Bush, we'd like to know a few thinks about how you've handled the responsibilities we hired you to take care of. Like, what have you done with our troops' lives, our nation's good image, or money?" Bush: "Like I care what you think."

2. Hey, Snow: It isn't Ed Henry's JOB to have a recipe for success.

It is, however, George Bush's!

The buck doesn't stop on Bush's desk!

3. that has always been the Bush "plan" in Iraq

ridicule any other plan that anyone brings up, but never actually present any real plan

4. Typical Republican punk response, like they're so tough.

Go to Iraq, Tony, and oh, yeah---fight for that First Amendment Right you apparently hate.
