Boycott the President's speech on Thursday night
The major networks did not carry the Petraeus and Crocker testimony in the House of Representatives on Monday or the Senate testimony yesterday. Only after watching it on C-Span could you get a true picture of the lack of real progress made in Iraq and the pathetic lack of strategic thinking General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker manifested. They appealed again to our fears and portrayed a picture for us of Iraq "falling apart" if we leave. Petraeus was a good soldier and kept his comments entirely within the scope of Iraq without commenting on some broader issues like whether the Army was broken, whether we were safer in America or not (a question pressed by Senator John Warner R-VA)
A message needs to be sent to President Bush loud and clear. That message: We're not listening to you anymore! Boycott his Prime-Time speech to the Nation on Thursday night and punish the major Networks for carrying it, rather than the testimony before Congress and the Senate they chose to ignore. Also, the President’s speech will be nothing but B.S. I would rather watch the PBR Bull Riding show for real entertainment, without the stench!
