Bush Says Progress Is Being Made in Iraq


WASHINGTON (AP) - With the American death toll above 2,000, President Bush said Saturday that the war in Iraq has required ``great sacrifice,'' but that progress is being made and the United States must remain steadfast.

In his third speech on Iraq this week, Bush sought to shore up flagging support for a war that began March 20, 2003.

``The best way to honor the sacrifice of our fallen troops is to complete the mission and win the war on terror,'' the president said in his weekly radio address.

``We will train Iraqi security forces and help a newly elected government meet the needs of the Iraqi people. In doing so, we will lay the foundation of peace for our children and grandchildren.''

1. "Great sacrifice" by whom? Certainly none of his "base."

[Canuckistanian]

2. Good to see the pResident recycles old material

It takes a lot of energy to produce new ideas.

[indepat]

3. Can anyone clarify what "the mission" is?

[ixion]

4. "win the war on terror" = "endless war"

[tabasco]

5. No doubt! There's been lots of progress.

Cheney has made 8 million on his Halliburton stock alone.

Oil company profits at an all-time high as the US military sits on top of the world's #2 oil reserves.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

6. Blah blah blah

puke puke puke.

[rodeodance]

8. it sure is a tune out--the same thing over and over.

[Amonester]

20. Always the same tune, over and over:

Catapult, catapult, Oh my dear sweet Rovian catapult
What could I sing over 'n over without you
My sweet Rovian catapult

35. we've progressed

from 1,000 dead to 2,000 dead

:sigh: recycled canned worn out bush*t filled same old crappy speech

[sweepster]

7. Yeah lots of progress by the insurgents.

LOL

[rodeodance]

9. progress must be measured in # of dead US troops these last few weeks.!!

[Rose Siding]

10. Because of the dead, more must die.

Brilliant!

[wordpix2]

11. recycled platitudes about Iraq

no substance, same old same old "stay the (disastrous) course."

IMPEACH BUSH

[AzDar]

12. ..Again with the nebulous "mission" and the war on terror being

somehow linked. Somebody slap him REALLY hard, 'cause this boy's stuck on stupid.

[thecrow]

13. OMG! Because "He" says it, it must be so!

:sarcasm:

[SOS]

14. April 14, 1912

J. Bruce Ismay tells Captain Edward Smith "Stay the course! Full speed ahead!"

[against all enemies]

15. 911 911 911 911 911 911 911 911 terrer terrer terrer terrer

Last 1,000 Bush speeches

[jbane]

16. And it's the way he says it...

He allways goes "you see, we were attacked on Sept. 11th"
LIKE NOBODY EVER HEARD IT BEFORE. Oh my God Mr. President, you mean we were attacked!

[Mikimouse]

17. Now, now, let's not judge the man too harshly, after all...

he didn't specify WHO was making progress in Iraq. He probably meant the Iraqi anti-occupation forces, who are indeed making progress against the coalition forces.:evilfrown:

[Deja Q]

18. And now we need some progress here at home, Mister President.

[struggle4progress]

19. Coming up: Walking from the earth to the moon. Stay tuned. eom

[maddezmom]

21. how's that progress going in NO after the hurricanes?

Alabama, Mississippi and Florida?

[NanceGreggs]

22. Let him KEEP TALKING ...

... every time he talks about 'progress' in Iraq, he makes it even more obvious to his (few) supporters that he's lying. As long as American soldiers are still dying every day, that's the only 'progress' that sticks in anyone's mind.

I'm always SOOOO happy to hear him blather on about Iraq -- every time he does, he ties himself to the entire misadventure even more tightly. That means that every time a former Bush supporter loses faith in the mission in Iraq, BUSH has lost that person's support FOREVER!

[wordpix2]

24. yes, his lying blather is becoming so obvious that

even neocons like Pat Buchanan are calling for a withdrawal of troops from Iraq and saying BushCo was wrong.

IMO, The Miers split in the Repuke party is NOTHING compared to what's coming as LIBBY's trial draws near.

[NanceGreggs]

25. I realize that a lot of Bush supporters are ...

... shall we say, less than intelligent, well-informed people. But even the DUMBEST person gets tired of watching the same movie, over and over, with a story-line that never goes ANYWHERE!

Not only is he in danger of losing more and more supporters due to the lack of progress and the death toll, he's liable to lose what's left of his would-be loyal supporters out of SHEER BOREDOM.

[cliss]

23. Progress? What progress.

I think Bush should be a little more specific. When he says "progress", he needs to elaborate.

Progress for the Iraqis? In what way? Or progress for the US troops? How? Are they being given their orders to go home?

I think Bush speaks in generalities. He hardly ever goes into specifics, because he knows it's impossible. He uses lovely, patriotic blurbs because he knows he can't get called on the carpet for them.

But if you listen closely, you realize he's not saying a damn thing.

[teryang]

26. Progress this is why troops are being stripped from Asia

...and the National Guard and Reserves at historically record rates to maintain occupation forces who have completely failed to reestablish order, power, commerce, and daily living as usual in Iraq.

[Disturbed]

27. The Silverspoon Sociopath is catapulting the propaganda to..

the 37% of his below room temp IQ Cult.

[all.of.me]

36. silverspoon sociopath! i love that!!

:rofl:

[wildwww2]

28. Making progress on a mission that was accomplished 2 1/2 years ago?

My fellow Americans are just stupid if they buy this cat crap. Bu$h`s faux leadership is such a dishonor to our troops it is unreal. War on terror? What a sick joke. Bu$h is the most evil terrorist on the planet. Hands down.
Peace

Al Gore is My President

29. Brezhnev Says Progress Is Being Made in Afghanistan

Oceans will no longer protect us. Scooter Libby is a good man; he has a good heart.

[daleo]

30. He sounds like a broken record

Same as the war-mongers sounded during Viet Nam war days.

[BiggJawn]

31. Dumb Sumbitch also said "A milestone was passed this week..."

No, not the TWO THOUSANDTH WAR DEATH ON HIS WATCH, but that fucked-up RIGGED vote on the "iraqi Constitution"...

A "Milestone"...Just like we were launching a "Crusade" agin' TERRA...

He doesn't even bother to wait until he's on the plane away from DC before he gets pissed anymore, does he?

And Laura wishes she could stop shitting blood...

[teryang]

32. The milestone was 2000 dead active duty troops

Now there's another milestone. How clever his speech writers are.

[TheGunslinger]

33. Rumsfailed has piped in, too: US making progress against Iraq insurgency

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051030/ts_nm/iraq_rumsfeld_dc

"The pressure applied on terrorists and insurgents is having an effect," Rumsfeld said in an interview in Der Spiegel magazine released on Sunday.

"We are capturing and killing large numbers of high-ranking people from groups like those of al Qaeda and Zarqawi," Rumsfeld said in comments translated into German.

Rumsfeld said he and others had believed violence would peak before the referendum on the Iraqi constitution on October 15, but he said that had not been the case.

Violence didn't peak?

3 dead per day. Highest daily average of US deaths since JANUARY!


FUCKERS!! :mad: :mad:

37. I'm convinced he's either drinking again or addicted to some sort of drug.
