I would think it has to be something significant to come out of the blue like this, especially with no explanation.

If it were to annouce a dead or captured Osama, a speech would be done during prime time. Right now, the only folks watching TV are soap opera junkies and welfare cases.

"Bush marking Iraq anniversary with speech

White House event includes envoys from allied nations

The Associated Press

Updated: 8:53 a.m. ET March 19, 2004

WASHINGTON - One year after ordering the first military strikes against Iraq, President Bush marks the anniversary with a fresh defense of his actions for a voting public that remains split over his decision and international allies who are growing weary of continued postwar violence in that country.

A speech Friday at 11 a.m.ET from the White House will cap a weeklong administration effort to boost support for the war on terrorism at a time when cracks are forming in the U.S.-led alliance that toppled Saddam Hussein from power.

The president was offering a favorable progress report and issuing a call for support in a “time of testing.”

Aides said Bush’s remarks would echo the warning he delivered Thursday at Fort Campbell, Ky., when he said the deadly train bombings in Madrid showed that terrorists kill innocent people “without conscience, without mercy.”

You bet its news-breaking if the President is going to address the nation in 38 minutes.

Another freeper mentioned that negotiations are under way to take a "high value" target alive. Could be related.

FNC does breaking news alerts when the sun rises.

This speech is very necessary and will be unheard or unseen by about 90% of the country because of when it's given, making it a colossal stupidity.

Bush Speech Quote: "Each of us has pledged before the world we will never bow to the violence of a few...we will overcome it together."

Talking about the terrorist attack in Spain, "murdered at random and without remorse...we have shared in the sorrow of the Spanish people."

Conveying "deepest sympathy" to Spanish Ambassador...

"In this new kind of war, civilians find themselves suddenly in the front lines..." (naming nations). "They've attacked Muslims in Indonesia, Turkey, Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan...No nation or region is except from the terrorist campaign of violence...Each attack is designed to demoralize our people and divide us one from another. Each attack must be answered not only with sorrow, but greater determination...and bolder reaction against the killers.

"It is the interest of every country and the duty of every government to fight and destroy this threat to our people."

More...

"Any sign of weakness or retreat simply validates terrorist violence, and invites more violence for all nations"

"Our coalition is sending an unmistakable message to terrorists... they will face their day of justice"

This is on the radio. Must easier to multi-task with that than TV. "It is a good thing...Iraq giving glimpse of life in a free country..."

Well well, Chris Wallace actually praising the President's speech and remarking on Kerry's flip flopping.

Wonders will never cease.
