The backdrop for President Bush's speech on Iraq was dozens of placards reading "Plan for Victory". More empty slogans from a president running on empty. Unfortunately, Bush thinks the tank is full because he's full of himself and believes that God has chosen him to conquer Iraq.
There is no joy in watching him flounder because American troops are dying. Bush lied to get America into the war. He lied by flying a banner that proclaimed: "Mission Accomplished." The most serious charge, however, is that he lacks seriousness. He has waged war on the cheap - without enough troops or body armor - while cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans. Bush has let down the troops and America.
After dismally failing the country, he wants us to trust him on his latest scheme, er, plan. But, the president has no credibility and can't be trusted. Let us hope that our fortunes change in Iraq for the good of the nation. A democracy in the heart of the Arab world would be a delightful outcome to this whole debacle. However, this corrupt and incompetent administration has disappointed America for five years. I'm not sure why things will change, just because he gives another tired speech.
Finally, it is clear that Bush no longer wants to be president. His goal all along was to upstage his overbearing Daddy. Now that he was reelected and has nothing left to prove, he would rather be on the ranch drinking whisky and clearing brush. By all means, George, go back to Texas. If you left office, your popularity rating would skyrocket overnight.

He only speaks now in front of military groups because they're the only ones who won't/can't booo him and throw eggs. My friend's nephew goes to West Point and was subjected to the inane, platitude filled speech that bush gave there the other day. Gary (NJ)

Because I'm a Naval Academy graduate and we won the annual Army-Navy game, and not that it matters one way or the other, but President Bush was pushing his nonsense at Annapolis (The Naval Academy) not West Point (The Military Academy.)
