Bush to take a bow for Iraq vote in upcoming 'State of the Union' speech

22 minutes ago Politics - AFP

WASHINGTON (AFP) - As President George W. Bush (news - web sites) unveils his domestic and foreign agenda in his State of the Union speech later this week, the annual address also looks likely to give him a chance to take a bow after Sunday's elections in Iraq (news - web sites).

(snip)

Bush spoke by phone Monday with Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and President Ghazi al-Yawar, and all three leaders agreed that Sunday's vote was "a great success," and a blow against terrorism, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said at a press briefing.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites), French President Jacques Chirac, and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder also spoke to Bush following the election, all agreeing that the vote was "a significant step forward" for Iraq and a blow to terrorists, said McClellan.

"The president expressed his appreciation for the strong statements in support the democratic process now advancing in Iraq. All agreed that the election is a victory for the Iraqi people," he told reporters.

[Emboldened Chimp]

2. Shouldn't he have had his SOTU already?

I remember it as always being at the end of January.

[demnan]

[EVDebs]

Oh, wait, Iraq isn't over with...they still have to do this all over again in October...THEN they can start the process all over in another 'front' of the endless war.

[54anickel]

12. ..

[Pirate Smile]

6. Will he wear the flight suit to give the SOTU?

Where will they put the banner? and who will they blame it on when things start going to hell?

[DELUSIONAL]

11. With the codpiece to show he's a "real" man???

I just read this article -- and what a bribe -- vote or starve.

17. Think the repubs would ever do that with US welfare recipients?

Somehow I doubt they'd be interested.

[Magleetis]

7. Still waiting

for a victory for the middle class American people.

[hadrons]

8. care to take a bow for the thousands dead too, Dumbya???

[Laurab]

13. Why trouble himself with reality?

Anyway, then he'd be bowing constantly - might hurt himself or something. Did anyone NOT expect it to be declared "a great success"? This man sickens me more than words can describe.

[BeHereNow]

9. Memo to Bush...

al Quada just declared a holy war in Iraq.
For this you now take a "bow?"
Surreal.
BHN

[Tempest]

10. Will he mention the four dead Marines killed today?

How about the 10 UK troops killed when their C-130 was shot down today?

How about all the other U.S. soldiers killed between now and the speech?

[driver8]

27. Hell no! That is reality! Bush doesn't deal with reality...

Bush doesn't care what is going on in the "real world." All he cares about is what is going on in "his world." In shrub's world, everything is hunky dory and democracy and freedom is being spread throughout the world.

"Casualties? What casualties?"

God I hate that man.

[gratuitous]

15. Will Ahmad Chalabi be sitting behind Pickles again?

Just a note on the fleeting nature of the deathless pronouncements from a State of the Whatever address, particularly one delivered by Stupidhead.

[bluestateguy]

16. For the second year in a row, I will not be watching

I'll never watch his State of the Union speeches again.

[driver8]

28. Me either, bluestateguy...me either.

I will never watch another "lies to the union" address from this idiot boy king. What do I need to sit there and be lied to for? This asshole never tells the truth.

[cliss]

18. Yeah, well the more he gloats, the more

he's going to anger the Iraqis.

Just watch him beam with pride at his SOTU this week. Watch him smile from ear to ear. See his hand, making a sweeping gesture, grandiosely proclaiming that Iraq now has "Freedom". He'll use the word 55 times.

Next, he'll use the word "liberate" 43 times. Also, "democracy" will be used 39 times.

He'll use the words "succeed", "glory", "realization", "struggle".

Let him. Just watch the backsplash.

[Free2BMe]

19. and the headlines will read..Bush Moons while bowing...

[Lauri16]

22. While he's using the word "liberate".....

....I'll be thinking of the lyrics to the Disturbed song..."Liberate" :D

[VegasWolf]

20. I haven't seen a single State of The Union speech since bush

took office. I can't stand to listen to that little monkey.

[Mr_Spock]

21. And someone please kick him in his ass - maybe he'll land on his face

Lying murderer :eyes:

[ignatius 2]

25. Remember how Chimpy kept pushing for the elections at the end of

January, no matter what. Just a hunch, but I figure he knew the election was going to be fixed, therefore, he could use the "success" of the elections in his sotu speech.

Of course like "mission accomplished" and the June 04 turnover of power to an "interim" government, the situation in Iraq worsened after both of those events.

[jpgray]

26. Well, remember his Olympiad whoring

This will take that up a few notches.

[truthpusher]

29. I will stand at least 15 feet from the set when I watch....

...projectial vomit is not good for the equipment :puke:

[LizW]

30. Hmm, seems that Chalabi beat him to it

I heard Ahmed Chalabi on television saying how proud he was that he had brought democracy to Iraq. He didn't mention Bush.

[DemonFighterLives]

31. I would love to see * and Chalabi fight over it

The two knuckleheads deserve each other. While all hell breaks loose in Iraq.

[DrZeeLit]

32. And both sides of the aisle will clap (camera on)... right? Jeez... n/t
