Prognosticating W's Speech

Bush's speech tonight promises to be one of those "rah-rah" affairs to attempt to drum up support for his Iraq War in the face of plummeting approval ratings.

Jeff is predicting that the word/phrase of the night will be "9/11".

Given that tonight is all about making happy talk on Iraq, I'm predicting it will be "war on terror" or perhaps "democracy".

What's your prediction? Leave your ideas in comments.

I'll post the lucky word/phrase later tonight or in the morning..with transcript snippets of the speech.

Update:

Tonight's TV listings (Eastern time):

Bush (ABC, 8 pm).
"Lie Detector" (PAX, 8 pm).
"Armageddon" (FX, 8 pm).
"The Boy in the Plastic Bubble" (TVLAND, 8 pm).
