Quote:WASHINGTON - With approval ratings flagging, and growing concern about Iraq's conflict spiraling into a civil war, President Bush launched a new public relations drive Monday to bolster support for the U.S. presence there, saying, "We will not lose our nerve."
In a speech at George Washington University in the capital, Bush delivered the first in a series of planned speeches aimed at convincing Americans he has a strategy for victory, nearly three years after the U.S.-led invasion.
The president detailed progress in training Iraq's military and police forces, and discussed ongoing efforts to counter the use of improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, that have killed hundreds of U.S. soldiers and of Iraqis.
In the address, Bush called on Iraqis to embrace compromise as they negotiate a new unity government and asked Americans to show patience amid "images of violence and anger and despair."
The situation in Iraq is still tense," Bush said in the first of a new series of speeches aimed at building support for the U.S. goals there.
Public relations indeed. At this point in time what could he say that is meaningful. Will we hear a new round of trust me speeches? IMO the best thing he can do is go back to bed pull the covers over his head and never be seen or heard from again
I understand he is now attempting to tie Iran to terrorist activities in Iraq..... lame int he?
Can't somebody muzzle that prick??

I wouldn't worry about Anon.
No one listened to him the last time he tried to sell Iraq.
He's just a fool that's out of touch.

Of course not me. Remember, Bush said he was directed by God. I believe his God to be the devil.

So, we've come full cycle? They used to call it PR, and later, spin. I guess it's good old PR again.
This series of speeches will probably be as effective as those he made about Social Security.
He could not be dumb enough to believe that his speeches have any impact. Could he? I have a feeling they send the prat boy out to make speeches just to get him out of the way and to make him feel important when what he really is-is impotent.
