2. He probably will.
But, they probably won't.

Not with the killing machine that is the illegal Iraqi War.

3. About as good as Bush admitting that he has ever made a mistake
To ask for sacrifice would be to admit a mistake. Bush has never admitted to making any mistakes and will not do so tonight.

5. I agree. Showing a bit of weakness might endear people to him, even
get some to forgive him, but I don't think he's capable. He won't ask people to volunteer, because if he did, and they didn't, he would look even weaker, and Bush is too weak as a human being (using that term only because I don't want to insult any other species of animal) to willingly let people see him as weak.

4. I hadn't thought of that
Maybe that will be a major theme of his speech.

7. No. That would scare the soccer Moms
and the NASCAR Dads too much.
When this war hits home, like Viet Nam did, in the heartland, it's all over for the Bushies.
It's beginning.
But without the draft, the pain isn't being felt to the same extent.

8. He'll have alot of garbage meant to innoculate his admin. from the
upcoming Abu Ghraib photos. I expect he'll say alot about the "safety of our troops in the field". You know- because it's not his illegal occupation that's getting people killed; it's the press that reports on his illegal occupation.

11. Look To See If Iran Enters The Picture
I am looking to see if he brings up the rhetoric of Iran. I was discussing with a friend the other day and he believes there will be some talk of Iran... We shall see....
