Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada

I'll still be at work when Bush holds his lie-fest this evening. Dr. Condoleezza Rice was on the morning programs acting as a stool softener before he dumps his load this, so it is pretty apparent that we won't be hearing anything new.

His line won't change. His course (hidden as it is) won't change. He'll say to forget about the 1750 dead and 12K+ maimed and injured ... If it takes 10-12 more years to defeat the insurgency, we are up to the sacrifice so that the Iraqi people will be free ... Don't worry about the hundreds of billions we've spent and will spend ... Forget about the price of oil rising again (we'll get control of it from Iraq sooner or later) ... Don't worry about the fact that 1 billion will be cut from veterans benefits (guess the boys will have to pay for their own artificial legs, arms and eyes). He's not peeing on the country, that's rain ...

"Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a round of morning television interviews that Bush would tell the American people how important it was to stay the course in Iraq.

'This president has always lived by his convictions and his values, not by what he sees in the polls. He is going to go to the American people who elected him just six months ago and tell them again why it is important that we finish the job in Iraq,' she told ABC's 'Good Morning America' show.

In another interview, Rice disputed the view that progress was not being made in Iraq. 'I don't think they are unraveling. Freedom is on the march,' she told NBC's 'Today' show."

... SAME OLD STUFF!
