Let’s Get Down to Specifics

Michael Moore… love him or hate him, you have to admit he makes some excellent points here:

Our President addressed us last night (here’s a word count). He had a lot to say, of course. He’s been doing a lot of hard work and a lot of hard thinking. It’s been hard.

Leading up to the speech, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan repeatedly promised that George would use the speech to lay out a specific path forward in Iraq:

June 27: “Tomorrow, the President will also talk about the strategy for success. He will talk in a very specific way about the way forward. There is a clear path to victory.”

June 27: “As I said, this is a new speech. And the President will be talking in a very specific way about the strategy for succeeding in Iraq.”

June 27: “I think we have a clear strategy for success. He’s going to be talking in a very specific way about what that strategy is.”

June 24:”He talked about how it is a two-track strategy. There’s the military track and there’s the political track. And he will talk in a very specific way about the way forward to succeeding and implementing that strategy.”

Now it’s time for a pop quiz!
