Bush To Mark Anniversary of Iraq War with Series of Speeches
11 March 2006

President Bush plans to give a series of speeches on Iraq to update the American people on the U.S. strategy for victory, and to mark the three-year anniversary of the beginning of the coalition military operation that overthrew Saddam Hussein’s regime.

So the trends seems to be that every 4 months or so they trot back out their "Victory in Iraq" banners and cardboard cutout until the political winds force them to yank it all down and go back inside and replan. More of the same and please don't think that the mid-terms have anything to do with this...and no legacy making either none at all so stop saying that.


The December 2005-from my research- was the BIG series of war rally speeches (complete with weird trident backdrop) every week or so that fell flat on its face and ended after four speeches not the six (possibly 8) super duper speeches we were promised.
