AP: Bush to announce Iraq plan on Wednesday (9 PM)
Bush to announce Iraq plan on Wednesday


By HOPE YEN, Associated Press Writer

2 hours, 17 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - President Bush will address the nation at 9 p.m. EST Wednesday
about his new approach for the war in Iraq, the White House said. Bush is expected
to announce an increase of up to 20,000 additional U.S. troops.

Bush's decisions, more than two months in the making, already are drawing criticism
from new Democratic leaders in Congress who say it is time to begin ending the war,
not to send in more U.S. forces.

White House press secretary Tony Snow said Monday that Bush "understands there is a
lot of public anxiety" about the war. On the other hand, he said that Americans "don't
want another Sept. 11" type of terrorist attack and that it is wiser to confront
terrorists overseas in Iraq and other battlegrounds rather than in the United States.

Snow said he contacted television networks Monday morning to request air time for the
president's speech, to be delivered at the White House. He said the administration
welcomes a debate about Bush's new policy.

1. I suppose CNN will let Larry King have prime time analysis. Larry King SUCKS donkey balls
Why they continue to allow his lame ass prime time analysis time is beyond me. They need to bring more political heavy weights in and curb him to Saturday and Sunday.

2. "uh...9/11! Fight them over there so we don't fight them over here! Terra! Terra!"
..."White House press secretary Tony Snow said Monday that Bush "understands there is a
lot of public anxiety" about the war. On the other hand, he said that Americans "don't
want another Sept. 11" type of terrorist attack and that it is wiser to confront
terrorists overseas in Iraq and other battlegrounds rather than in the United States."

:puke: :nuke:

I hope Tony Snow's brain is donated to science when he's dead..I'm curious to know what physiological changes show up when the subject lies so constantly, obviously and outrageously.

Chicken and egg question here...do the changes cause the lying, or did the lying cause the changes?
:sarcasm:
