Bush To Give Another War On Terror Speech Today


WHITE HOUSE -- President George W. Bush will give another war on terror speech today, with his poll numbers for handling the war at an all-time low.

The president speaks to a Johns Hopkins University crowd in Washington, a day after the third anniversary of Baghdad's fall.

An Associated Press-Ipsos poll showed just 40 percent approval for his handling of the war on terror. The number dips to 35 percent for his handling of Iraq.

One GOP pollster called the overall approval numbers "scary."

1. Oh, good! I wonder what he'll say?

:puke:

2. In so many words...

The world is in grave danger and I am your savior.

[Callalily]

3. Oh no, not again!

<snip>The president told a North Carolina audience last week the United States has a multi-pronged strategy for victory in Iraq. And he said that victory would make America safer.<snip>

Guess we're in for more double-speak!

8. Bush to Target U.S. Home Audience

Is there anyone listening to this clown anymore:

The Zarqawi campaign is discussed in several of the internal military documents. "Villainize Zarqawi/leverage xenophobia response," one U.S. military briefing from 2004 stated. It listed three methods: "Media operations," "Special Ops (626)" (a reference to Task Force 626, an elite U.S. military unit assigned primarily to hunt in Iraq for senior officials in Hussein's government) and "PSYOP," the U.S. military term for propaganda work.

One internal briefing, produced by the U.S. military headquarters in Iraq, said that Kimmitt had concluded that, "The Zarqawi PSYOP program is the most successful information campaign to date."

Kimmitt is now the senior planner on the staff of the Central Command that directs operations in Iraq and the rest of the Middle East.

I might quibble over whether the Zarqwai PSYOP program is the MOST successful, but one thing I AM sure of, is that, Bush's speech will be the best damn speech military intelligence can write...

(note to the DU pundits: I bet the people who put 'Zarqawi' so prominently in their analysis of 'what's going on in Iraq' feel a little silly now, don't they)

Arrest Warrant Issued for Iraqi Shi'ite Cleric al-Sadr

Baghdad -- Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) spokesman Dan Senor publicly revealed April 5 that an Iraqi judge has issued an arrest warrant for Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in connection with the 2003 murder of another cleric at a mosque in the city of Najaf.

Kimmitt said offensive coalition military operations have accelerated "to kill or capture anti-coalition elements and enemies of the Iraqi people." He said the coalition is conducting offensive operations in response to the casualties that occurred recently in Fallujah.

Anyone who incites or executes violence "against persons inside Iraq will be hunted down and captured or killed," Kimmitt said. He singled out actions by al-Sadr's Mahdi Army in the 48 hours prior to the briefing, saying its actions were inconsistent with providing a safe and secure environment in Iraq. "We will take action, as and when necessary," he said, to maintain security in Iraq.

Addressing the CPA's policy toward private militias in Iraq, Kimmitt said, "Militias are inconsistent with a democratic and sovereign nation with a central government. We are particularly focused upon militias ... attacking coalition forces ... Iraqi forces ... (and) Iraqi civilians."

11. Osama became Zarqawi. Without missing a best he's about to become

an arch-enemy in............name that country.

[cliss]

10. I'm willing to bet those "scary" numbers

are a lot lower than they're telling us.

I've been saying for months that Bush's approval ratings are probably in the low 'teens, like 12%, 18% on a good day, 13% right after he gives a speech.

They know the truth. There's no way this Court Jester is pulling 36%. I'll go to my grave before I believe that.
