I didn't watch Bush's speech yesterday, not particularly because I didn't want to, although I have had a bit of a weak stomach lately and that could have really put me over the edge, but because I was at work and then at home I didn't feel like it. Sure, it's a weak explanation, but to hell with it.
From what I understand, Bush promised to bring Freedom and Democracy to every last human being on earth, but didn't say a single word about Iraq. Sounds about right: High-fallutin' non-specific unrealistic jingoism without a shred of substance.
For the record, he used the word "freedom" 25 times in 17 minutes, for an average of 1.5 freedoms a minute. He used the word "Iraq" 0 times in 17 minutes, for an average of 0 Iraqs. This is most likely because, since he refuses to hear bad news about Iraq, he has forgotten that such a place exists.
