Bush's speech: Predictions?

[Jara sang]

I believe he will ask the American people to sacrifice more for the so called "War On Terror" aka, "The Iraqi War" aka, "The Assault on America's Civil Liberties"

[ChairmanAgnostic]

1. Terra. War on T E R R A . and nukulars.

He will be pissed, and directed and a piece of shit.

[democrank]

2. Here`s my prediction...

I predict I won`t even listen to his speech.

[tjdee]

3. September the 11th.......freedom....find them where they hide...September

the 11th...

September the 11th.....

threat....

September the 11th....

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. but what of 9/11? and Terra & 9/11?

[Jara sang]

10. You for got "smokem' out"

[regnaD kciN]

13. We gotta be in Iraq 'cause we're fightin' terraists there...

...of course, the fact that those terraists wouldn't have been there in the first place had we not invaded will be gently sidestepped. :grr:

[spinbaby]

5. It's gonna be great

He's gonna twitch and blink and the coke jaw will be jerking a mile a minute. He'll recite his talking points--stay the course, terra, 911, rah, rah, rah--like a 5th grader delivering a book report. And all the pissed-off Americans waiting for Desperate Housewives to come on will see what a loser he really is. He'll be down 10 points in the polls by morning.

[dflprincess]

6. Stay the course, victory

spying is necessary to protect Americans, we don't torture blah blah blah.

[Rosco T.]

7. Declaration of Martial Law...

.. to prevent more 'Leaks' by the irresponsible news media. FAUX becomes the official new source and only one allowed on the air...

[Telly Savalas]

8. He won't say it's a sacrifice

He'll stress that the wire-tapping is done on a small number of individuals with "ties to terra". Completely ignoring the issue of why they aren't bothering to get warrants from judges, he'll emphasize how the program is necessary part of our "Global Struggle Against Extremism (TM)", and that it doesn't affect ordinary (i.e. white) Americans.

He'll also blather on about how the elections demonstrate that "Freedom is on the March", cherry-picking a couple of anecdotes about Iraqi individuals whose lives have changed for the better and cautioning us about "emboldening the terrorists" by even thinking about withdrawing our troops at some point this century.

And of course there will be the usual generic 9/11 exploitation that we've come to know and love.

In short, I'm guessing that it will just be a minor variation on the same speech he's been giving for the last 3 years. I'll check in here in a few hours to see if I'm right, because there's no way in hell I'm going to destroy brain cells watching that moron myself.

[bucknaked]

9. Yeah, Fox's email servers crashing if he Pre-empts Family Guy!

Oooh, them bastards, if they go with him over Family Guy!

[FreedomAngel82]

11. Yep

9/11! Don't forget that! :eyes:

[virgdem]

12. Same sh*t, different speech.

Terra, Terra, 9-11, victory in Iraq, blah, blah, blah, Bullsh*t.

[JerseygirlCT]

14. Stay the course. Freedom's on the march

Elections - good thing. Stay the course. Freedom's on the march. Elections -- good thing.

What spying? I was fighting terrorism. That's what the Merkin people want me to do -- defend freedom. Which is on the march.

[Bjornsdotter]

15. Fight them there....

...so we don't have to fight them here. :popcorn:

Cheers!

[Akoto]

16. I have an advance script of Bush's speech. Enjoy!

"Good evening. Let me begin by saying, fight them over there so we don't have to fight them at home. In addition, terra. Terra, terra, terra. Freedom of the Iraqi people. 9/11. Tyrannical regime. Great progress. Thank you, and good night."

[Chipper Chat]

20. You forgot his otomotapoeia-ish use of the word "killers"

as he spits all over the microphone condemning Zarqaui and ilk. "Terrasts are KKKihlrs." "We gotta kill them over thar before we kill them over h'yar."

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

21. Bush has watched the old movie "OK Corral" too many times

with the theme song by Frankie Lane, where he really puts a stress on that word "killers":

"There they lay side by side
The KHHILLERZZZ that died
At the gunfight at OK Corral"

Bush done learned his cowboyin' from the movies.

[tavalon]

17. When is the loon having his speech?

We surely aren't talking about the SOTU, are we?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. "Warrants? We don't need no stinkin' warrants."

"We ain't got to show you no stinkin' warrants."

[Jamastiene]

19. He'll finally openly declare himself King and show his true

evil twisted curmudgeonly face much in the same fashion as the Wicked Witch of the West.

He'll just do more of the same most likely. You know, lies, lies, lies and more lies.

22. Pre-script of Bush's Oval Office Address Tonight: "Please Forgive Me"

Pre-script of Bush's Oval Office Address Tonight: "Please Forgive Me"

by Sam Husseini


Oval Office, the White House

9:01 P.M. EST, Dec. 18, 2005

My fellow citizens -- and fellow citizens of the world -- tonight I want to speak to you from my heart about the war in Iraq and the direction of my presidency.

The last time I spoke to you from this room, I told you that I had ordered the invasion of Iraq. I said it was about disarmament; it wasn't. I said I was doing it for your security; I wasn't. I said we had no designs on Iraq and simply wanted freedom for the Iraqi people; that was false. I also told you I attempted to avoid war -- that was perhaps the biggest lie.

The situation in Iraq is dire. We have cynically played factions off against each other. Our troops are killing Iraqis on a regular basis, terrorists which now operate in Iraq are killing innocents wantonly. The way we conducted ourselves has inflamed the most fanatic elements in the region. Apparently one of those groups has abducted members of the Christian Peacemaker Teams and now threatens to kill them.

My administration methodically drove toward an illegal war. We did this for our vanity, because the institutions which support us wanted it that way and those that claim they were opposed to that course didn't do what was needed to stop us. We've lied at virtually every turn before the invasion and we've lied since to keep up the rationale and to position ourselves to dominate the region. We have used the rhetoric of democracy, as with the recent vote in Iraq, to mask our true intentions and give Iraq a veneer of democracy and sovereignty while we have laid our plans for domination as we build 14 permanent military bases there. I want to let go of those plans and help in whatever way I can to ensure authentic democracy in Iraq -- and around the world. Our current course is fueling resentment and it is only a matter of time when the U.S. will be attacked in a manner even worse than 9-11.
