"Prebuttal" To Bush's Speech Tonight
By Nicole Belle Wednesday Sep 12, 2007 7:14pmThe Center for American Progress has released this "prebuttal" to Bush's planned speech to the nation on Iraq tonight, where he is expected to say that he will "listen" to the recommendations of Gen. Petraeus and have 5,700 troops home by the end of this year and 24K by next spring.
Nancy Pelosi has issued a statement that Bush's policy is just more of the same and asks "Which slogan will we hear tonight?" Sen. Jack Reed (RI) will give the official Democratic response. John Edwards will have a response airing on MSNBC. And Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews will have post-speech analysis on MSNBC.

You can find President Bush's November 2005 "National Strategy for Victory in Iraq" and other past Bush declarations that "we're making progress" at:
"The Iraq Document Center."
Will congress fund bringing the troops home and sending any new troops to Afghanistan to fight the Al Q that is supposed to have brought down the WTC?
You all gotta watch this--you'll laugh so hard you'll, uh, cry

IVAW [Iraq Veterans Against the War] member Adam Kokesh will be giving a rebuttal to Bush's speech on CNN tonight on Larry King's program right after Bush speaks.
Isn't that using fear?
We're against that aren't we?
Blah, blah, blah, blah with a wanky Phillip Glass-inspired whirling soundtrack in the background. These little homemade movies mean nothing. The only people who watch them are the converted.
"What slogan do we hear tonight?", Nancy.
How 'bout one from you??? How 'bout..."No more money for this war." ??? You have the power, Madam Speaker, to de-fund this fiasco. All you need are the ovaries to get it done. Time to step up.
I see Pelosi has made one of her harsh statements. Her job is done.
In his speech to the nation Thursday night, President Bush unveiled the latest official White House talking point on Iraq. Destined for regurgitation from reliable Republican mouthpieces is "Return on Success." That business sounding jargon from our first - and failed - MBA president is designed to reassure the American people that after our troops fight them there, they can come home here.
For the complete list of RNC-approved Iraq sound bites, see:
"'Return on Success' Added to Official GOP Iraq Talking Points."
A very sober dissent.
But there are a great many people, like myself, who would have expressed a more strident sentiment, like Pacino in Scent Of A Woman: "I'd take a flame-thrower to this place".
chimpy is going to lie and try to look presidential once again.
The time to send the troops home is NOW! Not next month not next year. No more bodybags or mutilated bodies.
Face it, the troops he is going to release from his evil clutches are the weary, the mutilated and the crazies. The rest are going to be bribed with money.
dems need to vote/impeach this gang and stop saying how others will vote.
Are we going backward! Haw are we going to pay for it while our bridges are falling down.
I got the answer……..Lets the little man pay for it. One point more than to dump to flight in the score for the National Guard test was able to keep to really going in Vietnam. He should be tries for humanity crime.
Pre-Butt-Hole...sounds about right
The dumbfuck is on now.
Here it comes- war with Saudi Arabia!
Don't tell me I'm the only one who picked Saudi Arabia in the War Pool.
3 mins. in and all lies
He is lying!
He is not bringing troops home, he is only allowing those to leave he held up to increase his numbers beyond what he told us they would be.
I realize it is not a BJ from a woman but still, lying is lying.
"Our tomorrow starts today."
Bet that's what OBL said when he got our help in fightin' the Soviets in Afghanistan.
One thought: I want to hear from this man:
Adm. William Fallon, head of CentCom and General Petraeus’ superior, has called Petraeus an “ass-kissing, little chicken (bleep)
Why is Bush allowiing the head guy's flunkie to bring the report? Because he IS AN ASS KISSING LITTLE CHICKEN (SCAT)....
My TV is off. Thank goodness for the net, I don't have to see it to know what happened.
What if he gave a speech and NOBODY CAME?
one word. One operative: IMPEACH
Hey, that's it, round up the Shi'ites! Ya know, the people who voted in the current PM.
chimpy's
liesspeech:"Markets were shuttered?" WTF does that mean, chimpy?
I'm listening and already he lied 7 times, that I know of.
What's on other channels?
Yellowbird @ 19:
The more successful chimpy is, the more dead US citizens.
Cutting down from 20 to 15 brigades in 10 months. Big fuckin' deal. 75% of our troops will still be targets. Bet they feel safe.
Anyone know the music playing during this?
He forgot to mention that Maliki said for chimpy to get the fuck out of Iran.
He's seeing to the completion of his main goal...To leave to the next president, the job of getting us out of this mess.
IRAN
HE SAID IRAN
"A free Iraq will be our ally in the fight against terror."
See Afghanistan, circa 1979. Arm 'em to fight our enemies now and they will be our enemies in the future.
He put NYC disasters and Iran together once again.

Oh, wait, yer talkin' about the post, aren't ya?
Lay it down Jack ....
I thought Huckabee was a believer in the Lord and the truth.
Ron @ 34:
Well, the Lord, anyway. He just said, "This is a theological war."
I sure am talking about the post. I like the music quite a bit. The lonely, emotional guitar is pretty powerful, and helps make this video a lot stronger.

It's a group called "The Books". The song is "A True Story of A Story of True Love" from their second album "The Lemon of Pink". They're definitely one of my favourites. Great stuff!

If Reid and Pelosi think Bush's policy is just "more of the same," then WHY THE HELL DO THEY KEEP SUPPORTING IT?
Albatross @ 38:
they are all feeding at the same trough.
huckabee proved that there is not one repug preznit candidate worth a schitt. the repugs 're all talking points and the repugs don't give a fukkk about this country or it's people.
...except it's not going to be 10 years, is it? The next president is going to see to that. Right?
This is like a pre-emptive strike. I'm going to start pre-doing everything. Think of the possibilities.
I believe the only possibility to stop this man, this evil man, is to impeach him and remove him from office. It's self-defense at this point. Do you think this is the end? He wants to start a secret bombing campaign in Iran, forcing a draft, at which point he'll tear off his mask and say, "I...am not a crook."
Center for American "Progress"? Good one...

Instead of Reurn On Success, shouldn't have been Remain In Office On Success"?
