PRESIDENT BUSH'S SPEECHES ARE OUT OF ORDER
(Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. KUCINICH. Yesterday, the President gave his progress in Iraq
speech.
[[Page H11224]]
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.
