It looks like the President has already begun to implement his New Way Forward, which looks remarkably like the old way.  Since we've had a surge in troop levels 5 times already, I'm not sure what this one hopes to accomplish.  But the more important aspect was that everyone had decided to at least Bush make his case before they passed judgment.  Unfortunately, he's decided to launch his plan before the announcement.

As for the speech tonight, here are the advance snippets.  I guess now they're just working out how they are going to change the tense.

If anyone ever asks me again to hold off on criticism, it will fall on deaf ears.

Post whatever you want.  Here's what I'm looking at today:

State weighs cutting "idiot" from constitution

PHILADELPHIA, Jan 8 (Reuters Life!) - New Jersey is to consider cutting the word 'idiot' from its constitution so that people with some mental disabilities won't be barred from voting.

State Senate President Richard Codey introduced a bill on Monday that would remove language from the New Jersey constitution that was designed more than 150 years ago to prevent people suffering from mental illness or handicap from casting their vote in national, state or local elections.

Codey wants to eliminate a section that says "no idiot or insane person should enjoy the right of suffrage" and substitute with a reference to "a person who has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting."

Bush Speaks tonight:

WH: Bush to acknowledge mistakes in Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush will tell the nation Wednesday night he will send more than 20,000 additional American forces to Iraq, acknowledging that it had been a mistake earlier not to have more American and Iraqi troops fighting the war, a senior administration official said.

Seeking support for a retooled strategy to win support for the unpopular war, the president also will acknowledge that the rules of engagement were flawed, White House counselor Dan Bartlett said.
