King George sticks with his talking points on Iraq: No real plan, but he's got a message..


The chimpster is still on the PEP program (PEP stands for program with empty promises).
The media dutifully records those same words over and over -- without applying any context.
"Some Americans want us to withdraw our troops so that we can escape the violence," said Bush, who was flanked by Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other top officials. "I recognize their good intentions, but their position is wrong. Withdrawing our troops would make the world more dangerous and make America less safe. To leave Iraq now would be to repeat the costly mistakes of the past that led to the attacks of September the 11th, 2001."
"The enemy does not measure the conflict in Iraq in terms of timetables," Bush said to soldiers here, a reference to congressional Democrats' plans to start phasing in troop withdrawals."A strategy that encourages this enemy to wait us out is dangerous - dangerous for our troops, dangerous for our security," Bush said. "And it's not going to become law."
Slight change in wording, but essentially the same message.

More people are tuning him out, as they wake up to all the rhetoric of his.
