Bush Had a Speech Today. And it Was... Definitely a Speech

Why was this worth a speech? He is the commander of the entire army, and "moving 4,000 troops to the Anbar province" isn't exactly a groundbreaking decision that merits announcing it to the nation. It's a normal strategic decision that happens when you're in war. The fact that he somehow believes a small change in the numbers of troops is some sort of groundbreaking military strategy only makes it look like he's averse to complex thought. Ooooh, 20,000 troops. Ooooh. What a... number... That's a full 15% increase.

I leave more than that for tip.

More later.
