Here are my personal Bush speech predictions… lets hope that I am wrong.

What you may see:

• A lot of “the region” attacked us on 9/11, “the region” needs stabilized, “the region” breeds terrorists, “the region” want to attack us again
• Iraqi’s risking their lives to vote, dying to defend their country (although they are only jobs available)
• 200,000 Iraqi security forces are now trained and dying for their country
• Bush will give example of US soldier who was wounded (leg blown off by IED) and wants to go back
• Many comparisons or parallels to WWII in terms of the time, lives, money struggle etc.
• Some crazy statistics that somehow say we are winning
• Bush behind the troops, possibly wearing army attire himself
• Some Jesus or God quotes
• Theme: This battle / fight / war is the central front in “the war on terror” which started with 9/11 (from “the region”) which we must not lose and “stay the course” to promote democracy.

What you may not see:

• No mention of permanent bases
• A soldier speaking up, sneering snickering, booing (though that would be so awesome)
• Truth about lack of: supplies, protective gear, armor, communication equipment
• Bush twins enlisting
• A call for volunteering among Americans
• No timeline, timetable, maybe some “goals” what we “will” meet
