Great photo.

I've had serious reservations about this war in Iraq from Day 1, but I really have to take my hat of to President Bush right now. The political astuteness of this administration, and their ability to stand firm on an issue and head off calculated moves by their opposition (e.g., Hillary in Afghanistan) is absolutely astonishing.

The political astuteness of this administration, and their ability to stand firm on an issue and head off calculated moves by their opposition (e.g., Hillary in Afghanistan) is absolutely astonishing. Well said, AC. I was pondering Bush's political astuteness last night in the abstract, and Wow! Look what he did today. This really is huge. but it's not just a PR victory; Dubya is courageous, heroic, the quintessential proud American.
