Bush Looks Ahead to Iraq Report

ABC News' Lindsay Hamilton reports: In his weekly radio address, President Bush recounted his trip to Iraq, describing the progress made in Al Anbar province.
"Terrorists brutalized the people of Anbar and killed those who opposed their dark ideology. So the tribal sheiks of Anbar came together to fight al Qaeda," Bush said. "Together we have driven al Qaeda out of strongholds in Anbar."
Bush then looked ahead to next Tuesday when General David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker are scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill to give their assessment of the situation in Iraq. Later in the week, Bush himself plans to address the country.
"I will speak directly to the Nation about the recommendations General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker have presented to me. I will discuss the changes our strategy has brought to Iraq. I will lay out a vision for future involvement in Iraq--one that I believe the American people and their elected leaders of both parties can support," Bush said.
The president is on his way back from Australia where he was attending the APEC summit. The trip was cut short so Bush could get back to Washington in advance of a busy week on Iraq.

I expect Harry and Nancy to criticize the speech before he gives it; then turn off the TV while he's giving it; and then criticize it after he finishes.
...and they represent America...?

The Democratic leadership is calling The General's report this week the “Bush Report,” as if to say that Petraeus will be mindlessly regurgitating Bush administration spin. They have spent weeks bad-mouthing and sliming a highly decorated and highly respected commander.
Why doesn't the Democratic leadership grow some backbone and just call General Petraeus a LIAR--which is what they really mean. Then the American people can clearly judge Pelosi, Emanuel, Reid, Levin, Schumer, and company on their disgusting, shameful attacks.
