When was the last time you watched a Bush speech?

Via Americablog:

Bush plans to use the time before the December elections in Iraq to talk about the U.S. stake and make the case that he has a strategy that is working, beginning on Wednesday with a speech in Annapolis that will focus on what the administration says is clear progress in training of the Iraqi security force. Other speeches will follow as White House officials attempt to use the final weeks of this year and early next year to shape public opinion.

I can just see Karl Rove, back in the saddle again after an indictment, for the moment, failed to materialize: "Remember, guys. Heating oil costs are going to be 40% higher this year and everyone will be caught up arguing whether or not liberals are killing Christmas. Americans won't be paying attention to the war. It's time to stall."

The disgusting thing is that they're actually doing it.
