Bush 3.0 releases patch for Iraq war
Here's the lead, which looks pretty standard:
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (CNN) -- With midterm elections around the corner, President Bush on Thursday will launch a series of speeches aimed at bolstering support for what the White House calls the "single ideological struggle" against terrorism, including the increasingly unpopular Iraq war.
A few paragraphs later (and below the fold) is the subhead that tells the story.
The subhead four graphs down hits home:
Bush 3.0?
Bush's speeches on Iraq and terrorism are slated to run through a September 19 address before the U.N. General Assembly, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Wednesday.
The series will begin Thursday at the American Legion's annual convention, where Perino said Bush "will put the violence that Americans are seeing on their TV screens and reading in their papers into a larger context."
"He will acknowledge that these are unsettling times in Iraq, in Lebanon, and also the unsettling news about the foiled terror plot out of London," she said. "The key is that all of this violence and all of the threats are part of one single ideological struggle, a struggle between the forces of freedom and moderation, and the forces of tyranny and extremism."
This will be Bush's third major speaking campaign aimed at bolstering support for the war in Iraq -- which a CNN poll found last week to be at a new low. Though his latest effort starts less than three months before November's congressional elections, Bush said his speeches won't be "political."
