Same Old, Same Old

President Bush addressed the Nation once again on the war on Iraq. (Yawn!) And the Democrats responded to it as expected. (Yawn!) According to Fox News the home front watched the speech with great anticipation and I have to admit I almost missed it. (Shame on me!) Anyway I thought : "So You Think You Can Dance" is long over but in case you missed yesterday's waltz, here it is.

The President's Speech: We are progressing in Iraq. The Surge is working. Therefore we are able to bring Troops home by Christmas and won't replace them with other troops. By the Summer we will have the same amount of Troops in Iraq as we had before the surge.

The Democratic Response: Senator Jack Reed said: Nothing has changed. Our troops are caught in a civil war. Let's bring them home now. (responsible) The president only wants more time and our troops are dying. Let's focus on al-Qaida and terrorism instead.

John Edwards: He took it up on himself to deliver his own speech on MSNBC. I am not sure why. Anyway he said the only way to make the president understand that the American people don't want this war is to cut off the funding of our troops until congress and the president work together to bring our troops home.

That was it. It's the same old, same old. Meanwhile our troops in Iraq are still fighting while our politician using the War on Iraq to insult each other or better themselves. I say to both parties please address the nation AFTER you come up with solutions otherwise its quite senseless.
