"In January, after years of evidence that military actions cannot force a political solution, the president announced a military surge to force a political solution. In May, he vetoed a plan to end the war, demanded more time to show the surge could work, and Congress gave it to him. Now, after General Petraeus reports the surge has produced no progress toward a political solution, what does the president want? More time for the surge to work, when all of us know it won't." The President informed the nation tonight that he expects to leave a U.S. presence in Iraq way beyond his presidency.

That should be the media’s headlines over the weekend after hearing the President make his 8th primetime television speech about Iraq to the American people.

While I’m not a supporter of John Edwards, he said it best tonight during his paid for commercial that was aired not long after the President spoke.

“In January, after years of evidence that military actions cannot force a political solution, the president announced a military surge to force a political solution. In May, he vetoed a plan to end the war, demanded more time to show the surge could work, and Congress gave it to him. Now, after General Petraeus reports the surge has produced no progress toward a political solution, what does the president want? More time for the surge to work, when all of us know it won’t.”

The President informed the nation tonight that he expects to leave a U.S. presence in Iraq way beyond his presidency. He said Iraqi leaders “have asked for an enduring relationship with America.” The mission keeps changing, have you noticed?

What happened to, “Missions Accomplished” Mr. President?

If they are using Nielsen ratings, the info is based on who is watching at the beginning and the end of the program. They want to know how many people are sticking around and watching the whole program, and how many are finding it boring and turned it off. Folks tuned around, caught Bush's speech after it started, and then stuck around and watched the Democrat response. Personally, I didn't see either one. I wouldn’t get too excited about this.
