What does Bush want?
Interesting trend in his most recent radio address:

Good morning. Earlier this week, I spoke to the United Nations -- which has become, like our country, a target of TERRORism. In the past month, TERRORists have made two bombing attacks on the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad, killing Iraqi citizens, U.N. officials, and international aid workers. On Tuesday, I conveyed the sympathy of our country for the losses of the U.N., and the gratitude of our country for the relief efforts of the U.N. in Iraq. I also expressed America's determination to fight and win the war on TERROR -- for the safety of our own people and for the benefit of all mankind.

The world is safer today because, in Afghanistan, our broad coalition destroyed the training camps of TERRORists and removed the brutal regime that sponsored TERROR. The world is safer today because we continue to hunt down al Qaeda and its TERRORist allies, and have captured or killed nearly two-thirds of al Qaeda's known leaders and key facilitators. The world is safer today because, in Iraq, our coalition ended a regime that cultivated ties to TERROR while it built weapons of mass destruction. And for the safety of the people of Iraq and of all free nations, our forces are now conducting a systematic campaign to defeat holdouts of the old regime and other TERRORists who have joined them.

In the struggle between TERRORist killers and peaceful nations, there is no neutral ground. All nations must join in confronting this threat where it arises -- before the TERRORists can inflict even greater harm and suffering. And all nations should stand with the people of Afghanistan and Iraq as they build a future based on freedom and democracy.

2. He does stay on message, doesn't he?
Even if it's totally irrelevant.

3. I believe the neocons want another terrorist attack to help build
their case for US world domination through military control. There is evidence that they should have known about 9/11 before it happened and there is evidence that they flew certain Saudis and relatives of Bin Laden out of the US after the attack. They might even have purposely provoked it. They almost certainly wanted it. Another attack would leave some sheeple thinking that they can't protect us, but I believe many more would gather round the president and support him for his strength. The US loves to have enemies.

4. Coded messages
Perhaps the news media should decline to broadcast Chimpy's speeches, on the grounds that they might contain coded messages to his global operatives.
