when he makes his nationally televised address (probably during a football game)?

This is only partly off topic - it's handicapping the Political Game. (Wish there was a place I could get down with a few bucks on the main import of the speech)

Ostensibly he will talk about the report by Gen Petraeus, which was, fundamentlly, to Stay the Course.

OK, fine. But I'm willing to bet that a significcant part of the Bush address will be on alleged outrages that Iran is committing in Iraq. (Call it "WMD Revisited"). If not in time, than in emotion.Trying to whip people up into a Big Hate, in preparation for Kick Off.

Gotta hand it to the little guy, he doesn't give up. Down by many points in the polls, he makes one goal line stand after another. Well, not exactly in the field of play, but as a cheerleader he has no peer.

That we are winning the war against terrorism, lol

Iraq is winning period, we have done nothing but killed innocent soldiers fighting for nothing. Iraq was never a threat to USA, when did they come here and kill usa citizens?? If Sadaam was still in power everything would be cool and we would not of lost so many lives. Iraq was more safe when he was in power. More people have died there since he left than any other time frame.

Yeah, Coach may be crapping out in sports this season, but he is generally spot on when it comes to international politics.
Insightful, sees thru all the baloney

You might want to start your own polit blog, coach . . .

(Wish there was an active site for polit bet - more than the usual stuff about who will win the next presidential election. Too "micro" tho for the books)

Any props on how many words Bush will mangle?
