Bush’s “Surge” Speech
January 11th, 2007 at 8:47 am by CrankySorry, didn’t see it. I had to watch 343 sixth and seventh graders “exploring musicality” at my daughter’s Winter Concert. There is nothing like sitting through 45 mind-numbing minutes of other people’s children in concert just so you can see your daughter’s feet in the third row of the flute section.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe that these events are important to attend. If my daughter only tapped the triangle once at the end of one song, I’d be there. But still…
The surge? Oh yes. I missed that. However, here’s a good roundup and analysis with a little bit of media bias-slamming thrown in for good measure.
UPDATE:
Doh! Always take care of your own first. Check out Annika’s analysis first.

I half-listened to it, and it sounded like more of the same.
If we’re going send 20K more troops over there and untie their hands and quit trying to play policeman and meals-on-wheels, then I’m all for it. However, if we’re going to continue the course of having our troops act as social workers instead of soldiers, then just go ahead and put up the white flag and come home.
Let our troops do their fucking job, President Junior. They’re willing and able if you and the rest of your policially-correct assclowns would get the hell out of the way.
