Bush changes course in Iraq........NOT!

Most of you know Bush gave a big, weighty (think: marshmellow) speech tonight on how he is going to fix the mistakes that he 'owned' up to. Of course it is a bunch of bullshit. There is really no reason to talk about what he said, we have all heard it before. Blah, blah, blah, more troops to secure victory, blah, blah, blah. The only thing that is going to change is that there are more troops to be caught in the crossfire of a darkening civil war.

Dick Durbin gave the Democratic response moments later. It was dignified, well spoken and in opposition to the President. Personally I like Keith Olbermann's take on the situation tonight. He laid out the President's lack of credibility with bullet points for all to understand.

Here's the video (from C&L):



Another excellent segment by my hero Keith. If anyone deserves a Presidential Medal of Freedom, it's him. Olbermann is actually speaking in defense of freedom and against Bush's litany of lies and authoritarian approach to the American public's overwhelming disapproval on how the war is being handled.

  1. Just like Vietnam and Johnson escalating troop levels once the war was being lost, Bush is defying the Iraq Study Group recommendations for phased withdrawal and sending more young men and women to die in the violent streets of Baghdad. The President is making the wrong choice, against countless experts and American public opinion. How can 20,000 more U.S. troops effect Shiite and Sunni revenge killing? It's really not fair...especially to families of American soldiers.

  2. When making choices, count on Bush to make the wrong one every single time.
