Freedom Agenda Update

By Creature

Different day, same speech. Literally.

But Bush, repeating nearly word-for-word the message of a speech earlier this week in Salt Lake City, said, "The security of the civilized world depends on victory in the war on terror, and that depends on victory in Iraq, so America will not leave until victory is achieved."

I guess today's weekly radio address was just a summer rerun as we await Tuesday's all new--yet somehow familiar--episode of In the Streets of Our Own Cities.*

The president plans to expand on [the coalition of the terror groups] description Tuesday before the Military Officers Association of America, said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. Bush will describe how Islamic militants think, what they have said about their aims and why the world should take them seriously, Perino said.

The world takes terror seriously, it's the president of the United States that they dismiss.

*Programming Note: In the Streets of Our Own Cities will be replacing Over There Not Over Here this election season. Please adjust your DVRs.
