Joy to the World They thought that we would rue it. They doubted we'd do it. But now they must admit it, that succeed we did.

First, let's just be happy. Let's feel a burst of joy.

Let's not be boring people who Consider the Implications. Let's not talk about the domestic political impact. For just a day let's feel the pleasure history just handed us.

Nobody writes like Peggy Noonan.

I wish I were married to her so she could read me to sleep every night!

Once he gets the "FROG MARCH" we need to ride him backwards on a donkey.


And, tickle him under his nose with this feather!
His hands are tied behind his back, of course!

What's up with Tony Blair phoning Bush and asking him to not act triumphant? So, there was Bush acting all restrained. Why???!!! It's the exact wrong effect. Here's his chance to lord it over the world, and he blows it.

Miss Peggy Noonan. Not only beautiful but BRILLANT! She pegged it absolutely. Way ta go Peggy. Also, as for closing Osama's "mouth of hell" tight...I think we have done that already Peggy. He's in a hole allright but there are no air pipes. He's a done deal in my opinion.

Thank you Peggy for your true words. There ARE those who will never credit President Bush for this victory. To those losers I say: " Wallow in your own hatred." We'll rejoice in the victory for the Iraqi people, our troops and our President.

What a great day to be an American. I am prouder than punch and even prouder after Peggy's wonderful article. Thank you Peggy...thank you so much. God bless you too.

No, President Bush does not need to lord this over the world. He certainly does not need Tony Blair or anyone else for that matter to have to call and warn him about that either. President Bush is NOT LIKE THAT to begin with. When will people learn? When will they learn to never underestimate our President. First of all I think hw would not lord this over the world anyway because of his upbringing by his good and loving parents.

Secondly, he is a gentleman first and foremost and would never do anything so arrogant.

God bless our "Cowboy in the White House." :)))))
