Bush to Launch Series of Speeches on War
By DEB RIECHMANN
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Aug 30, 2006 (AP) --
President Bush is kicking off another series of speeches to counter
opposition to the war in Iraq, impatience with the rising U.S. death
toll and anxiety about possible terrorist attacks.
Bush delivers the first speech Thursday to the annual American Legion
convention in Salt Lake City.
The appearances will continue through the fifth anniversary of the
Sept. 11 attacks and culminate on Sept. 19 when Bush addresses the
U.N. Security Council.
It is the third time in less than a year that Bush has made a series
of speeches on Iraq and terrorism.
They come two months before congressional elections and at a point
when Bush's approval rate is at 33 percent in the August AP-Ipsos
poll.
His approval on handling of Iraq also was at 33 percent in the poll.
_______________________________________________________
I'm certain his speeches to explain the deaths of 2,638 American
troops aren't going to be political. A man who went AWOL when he was
supposed to serve during the Vietnam War wouldn't dare be that callous
