Chinese daredevil 'saluted' EP-3 pilot U.S. crew afforded smokes, bathroom shuttle: Navy report

Remember this??

When you think back over the Bush Presidency, it seems like he has had WAY more than his share of grief to deal with. He makes it look VERY easy, even though there is constant crushing pressure on him.

Indeed, I do remember it, my heart was in my throat for about 2 weeks. It was the first time we saw how the President reacts under serious international pressure. He had been in office less than 3 months and no one had a clue as to how he would perform. What we learned and what the world should have learned is that you don't play poker with this man. He runs a no-leak White House, he keeps his hand close to his chest, he is decisive, courageous, strong and he always has the best interest of America foremost in his plan.

Yes, three potentially explosive international incidents starting with the EP-3 then 5 months later WTC, 6 months after that Israel and he has handled them all with his own innate grace and decorum. Now he's gearing up for Iraq. An incredible 15 months of unbelievable focus and relentless scrutiny. He does make it seem so easy but in his short time in office he has done no less than comforted a stunned and heartbroken nation, restored American patriotism and pride in our military, reassured the world that America is once again in the responsible hands of a principled leader. Crushing pressure to be sure but he has handled it with the honor and dignity that he promised he would restore to the Oval Office. Not bad a bad showing for a misunderestimated, bumbling, preppy cowboy. Is it any wonder the dems are chasing their tails ?
