President Bush plans to begin a series of speeches next week again explaining the administration's strategy for winning the war in Iraq, as the White House returns to a familiar tactic to allay growing public pessimism about the war that has helped keep the president's approval rating near its historic low.
After previewing the upcoming speech in his radio address today, the president is scheduled to make remarks on the war at George Washington University on Monday. The appearance, which will be followed weekly by as many as four other speeches, marks the start of the White House's latest effort to convince skeptical Americans that it has a coherent plan for victory as the war nears its third anniversary later this month.
Let's see what will he say?
The Iraqi Army is coming along
The elections were great
We need to stay, not cut and run
Hey, Mr. President, why not tell the truth for once.
You have placed the bulk of the US Army's fighting brigades in the grasp of the Iranian military and their allies. It is 300 miles from Baghdad to the Kuwaiti border. The US Army and Marines had to fight for the bridges south against a far smaller enemy.
If you are wrong, Mr. President, and you have not been right about anything in Iraq, thousands of Americans could die as well as countless Iraqis on a retreat back.
When will you realize that disaster looms in Iraq, not only a civil war, but a war to drive us out of Iraq, may well be around the corner.
We have failed in Iraq. We need to find a way out before we are shown the door in a very bloody fashion.
Stop lying, to yourself, to the nation, and let's find a way out of Iraq.
