Bush said he would give 5 policy speeches on Iraq--1 per week . . .

[Lex]

this was about a month or so ago.

He gave 1.

That's it. The White House announced this and everything.

Did anyone hear the press mention this lie, lack-of-follow-up, short-attention-span, PR bullshit, that never happened?

(Ha! I crack myself up asking if the press noticed this.)

1. Good point.

But it would be best to save this flop until Oct 25th.

2. The five speeches announcement was last May

see number 11 in this week's New Yorker "Shouts & Murmers"

4. Wow, was it *that* long ago?

I must be in a time warp. I thought it was like a month or two ago.

I must be getting old! Time is flying by!

5. Let's hope time is flying

because you are having fun.

3. yes he did and then the Sh....... hit the fan.....and no more

and yes the press continues to give him a free ride but as some have stated.... they lose access if they report negative...so he is using arm twisting as NORMAL to get his way.

His bully tactics seem to continue to work.

6. I remember 2

Army War College and Air Force Academy Graduation. Their might have been another, I think at a Marine Corps Base? Foggy.

8. Archives of all Presidential policy speeches & misc. regarding Iraq

I don't see 5 policy speeches dedicated to the issue of Iraq, one per week, as the White House said we would get. This would've been beginning in May.

I'm sure there was an announcement of it, but I'm going to have to get some shut-eye. I'll see if I can find the announcement of the Iraq policy speeches tomorrow.

7. Another example of the kerry people snoozing at the wheel

[Lex]

10. Well, it would be nice if they'd mention it . . .

several hundred times.

I do think the Kerry campaign needs as many, if not more, "surrogates" out there spinning the story for the Dems as the repukes do.

9. As a comms person (ok, formerly, having been laid off two years ago)

I took note of that, thinking, boy, now he HAS to do it...! LOL, sure he does.
