Bake A Pie, Eat A Pie

I decided to bake last night rather than listen to Bush II talk about his "new" plan for Iraq. News flash: nothing much new was said. And of course a recap of the fear mongering scare tactics that have been employed ad naseum since 9/11. I guess his using the word "mistake" is different but I don't recall hearing an apology of any kind. Just more marketing-speak. So I think the Bush regime should listen to Foreign Policy's advice on how to make a speech. (Thanks for the link DT)

And is it just me or did Bush II threaten military action against Iran and Syria? Probably just me. Last but not least, his reference to the "author of freedom liberty" - his God of course - at the end of the speech was classic and can be translated such: y'all infidels listen up and fly right. And more than 20,000 men and women will be "called up" - to do what I have no idea. The more soldiers we send, the worse the sectarian violence gets. Maybe we could send a team of 20,000 diplomats, mediators and history professors instead. Just a thought.

UPDATE: The TV was on last night but I focused on the banana bread I was making just in case you were wondering. Note to Andrew Sullivan - I did notice Bush's religious reference at the end. I didn't consider it a temperance or move in the right direction - just less direct.
