Bush Speech LIVE THREAD

I will be posting the remainder of my updates (with the exception of 'urgent' updates) tonight in this thread.

UPDATE: Olbermann: A Look Backward at the Commander’s Credibility (video included).

Keith: We would be greeted as liberators, with flowers. As they stood up–we would stand down, we would stay the course, we were never 'stay the course',The enemy was al Qaeda, was foreigners, terrorists, Baathists. The war would pay for itself, it would cost 1-point-7 billion dollars, 100 billion, 400 billion, half a trillion dollars.

And after all of that, today it is his credibility versus that of generals, diplomats, allies, Republicans, Democrats, the Iraq Study Group, past presidents, voters last November, and the majority of the American people.

President Bush makes no secret of his distaste for looking backward, for assessing past results.

UPDATE #2: Democrats To Bush: You Are So High It's Not Even Funny.

UPDATE #3: AmericaBlog has the entire text of Bush's speech posted.

UPDATE #4: Oh look, while all other major cable media outlets are still doing extensive coverage of the Bush speech, I see that Greta Van Susteren of Faux News is devoting the hour to cover the "Rosie v Trump" feud. I guess she's simply not capable of doing REAL stories.

UPDATE #5: View the White House's Iraq strategy review PowerPoint by clicking here.

UPDATE #6: Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) told CNN:

"My heart fell as I heard it (the "surge" announcement) because I see no evidence from the past that this kind of surge will work."
