Bush's Speech Tonight

Let's be very clear what's going to happen tonight.

There are no new events or changes that precipitate his speech. Yet the networks are giving him time.

Why?

Because he (Bush) wants to convince you that you're wrong to doubt the war, wrong to scream for a game plan, and that he's been right all along. He gave us the road map last week: the problem isn't with how he's running things but with our perception of his failure.

I don't think he stands a chance in hell of convincing anyone but those already drinking Koolaid that we're in better shape than we think. I'm annoyed as hell that the networks are allowing something that is essentially a propaganda/mind control session. And I'm angry beyond belief that he'll use military folks as his props.

How do you feel about it?
