Yesterday, the President gave his progress in Iraq speech. However, in Najaf, security is not being provided by the U.S.-trained Iraqi troops, but by the militia of radical Shiite Muslim Muqtada Al- Sadr. In Mosul, the President said 50 percent of the people voted. But 56 percent of those who voted, voted against the constitution that the Bush administration was promoting. On May 1 of 2003, the President stood on the deck of an aircraft carrier and gave his ``mission accomplished'' speech. Last week he gave his ``secret plan for victory'' speech. Yesterday, he gave his ``making progress'' speech. I think I know the problem here. Whoever has been writing the President's speeches owes him an apology. They badly mixed up the sequence over the last few years. First, he was to give his ``plan for victory'' speech, then he was to give his ``making progress'' speech, then he was to give his ``mission accomplished'' speech. I have here a copy of his ``get out of Iraq'' speech. ____________________
