Back in May, the Bush Administration promised a series of "presidential addresses leading up to the June 30 handover of sovereignty to Iraq to try explain the process and to prepare Americans for what will likely be continued violence and casualties."
Yeah, you say, but he did give the one at the Army War College and the one at the Air Force Academy graduation, ---although that second one didn't offer much in the way of new details. Besides, that's not quite what we were led to expect:
Beginning with Monday's address at the Army War College, Bush will give a major speech on Iraq every week through June 30, when the U.S.-led coalition is due to turn over limited authority to a new interim Iraqi government. "We're entering a critical phase, and the president will be speaking out each week to discuss with the American people, and the world, the way forward in Iraq," said a White House official."Some speeches will have more details than others, and will be given at different places and times. All have the important goal of explaining the essential tasks at hand and the significance of June 30," the official added.
Cancelled due to lack of interest?
Cancelled due to damage control?
