The prize for "Best recap of Bush's Iraq war "surge" TV address" goes to ...

Earl of Prometheus 6

I watched the speech thing | Prometheus 6:

First ten minutes: prepatory rhetoric.

First of all, you were told to expect everything that surprised you.

Second, you didn't consult with anyone. You took the ISG report as a list of arguments to refute.

Third, you seem to be listing all the things we should be doing for Americans, with the death of a few extra Iraqis thrown in for leaven.

I did not watch the address but if I were to summarize it would be as so :

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Iraqis blah blah blah blah democracy blah blah blah blah war blah blah blah blah terrorism blah blah blah a little bit of time blah blah blah blah have to win blah blah blah national oil laws blah blah blah blah blah Sunni blah blah blah Shiite blah blah blah blah violent blah blah blah blah we have to win blah blah blah blah blah reconciliation blah blah blah blah blah democracy can't survive blah blah blah blah blah order blah blah blah blah stay the course blah blah blah it's unnacceptable blah blah blah we have to win blah blah blah God Bless.

Words to live by

I believe we should focus our efforts first and foremost against those who attacked us on September 11 and who have thus far gotten away with it. the vast majority of those who sponsored, planned and implemented the cold-blooded murder of more than 3000 Americans are still at large, still neither located, nor apprehended, much less punished and neutralized. I do not believe that we should allow ourselves to be distracted from this urgent task simply because it is proving to be more diffucult and lengthy than was predicted. Great nations persevere and then prevail...

I believe that we are perfectly capanle of staying the course in the war against Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, while simultaneously taking the steps necessary to build an international coalition to join us in taking on Saddam Hussein in a timely fashion. If you're going after Jesse James, you ought to organize your posse first. Especially if you're already in the middle of a gunfight with somebody who's out after you.
