“Midshipmen catch naps as they wait for more than an hour for U.S. President George W. Bush to deliver an address on the war in Iraq at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland November 30, 2005.”

Mr. Bush has never been a great public speaker. These guys knew what they were in store for. Truth be known, this picture was probably during the speech.

Update: Another picture…

New strategy

Posted by Len on Wednesday, November 30th, 2005 at 10:36 am CT in Politics

The Washington Post reports this morning that “Bush Unveils New Iraq Strategy.” You don’t need to spend a lot of time on it… it’s pretty much the same as the old Iraq strategy: “Stay the course.”

One thing has changed, however. We’ve progressed from “Mission Accomplished” to “Mission Complete.”

He repeated, though, that U.S. forces will not be withdrawn from Iraq until the “mission is complete.”

And, we are now going to stand still while they bomb and kill us…

“America will not run in the face of car bombers and assassins so long as I am commander in chief,” Bush said.
