Liberals 'Heart' Bush, Meow

[Croniun]

I am a strong supporter of President Bush and I normally post in a liberal dominated forum so I have to put up with a lot of criticism of Bush. Here is one of the comments:

"Bush probably won't be around to fiddle with Iraq by the time more subtle and less violent tactics are needed. He's done his thing: get the majority of American people to support a war, win that war, and declare it over so that whatever happens next doesn't count as losing the war. Now maybe a less hawkish president will take his place and start doing things the right way; teaching and educating instead of continued shooting and bombing."

I was wondering if I could get some help in defending my president.

well put. well put indeed. worth repeating:

Very simple.

Look at it this way. In under three years we removed the taliban from power and got a democratic govt under way in Afghanistan. We removed Saddam from power and are well on our way toward getting a free democratic Iraq up and running. Lybia "gave up" without a shot fired. We are gettin some consessions from Iran, Syria, and North Korea.

The terrorists are in disarray. In iraq even the terrorists admit that we are " suffocating them" and the iraqis arent favoring terrorists.

We did all of these things in under 3 years with less than 2,000 soldiers lost.

Bush told the truth after 9/11 when he clearly said that this will be fought with every available asset of the United States, and on many fronts.

I'll choose 4:

Humanitarian

When we kicked off the Military victory in Afghanistan we used our in theater Air Cargo assets to drop food, aid, and medicine to the local population to help them in their plight. Around that same time, Colin Powell secured about 20 Billion in Pakistani debt relief, a huge humanitarian accomplishment that today goes unnoticed and unapplauded. We've done more to bring stability to Afghanistan that the Taliban ever did during their decade long year reign of civil war in their country.
More recently, the Bush 20 Billion dollar AIDS relief package to a large part of Northern Africa is a humanitarian victory for many of the African countries that are divided by religious strife. In addition, The liberation of the people of Iraq, in the end, is a humanitarian act. The liberation of Afghanistan is a humanitarian act.

Financial

Bush seizing the assets of the "holy land foundation" operating in this country for decades before 9/11 was instrumental in stopping money being funneled to the Taliban. We've continued to bring military pressure against similar groups around the world and have compensated a lot of people who have suffered damages from this action. We can out-spend our declared enemy by a factor of 100, and this is an asset that Bush has wielded very very well.

Diplomatic

Colin Powell spelling things out very clearly to Pakistan, and getting Pakistan to capitulate to the reality that they are either going to help us, or suffer greatly, was a huge diplomatic plus for this country. Also, Bush and Condi handling Putin on the Kazakhstan question, and securing the help of the Northern Alliance Securing a unanimous vote with UN 1441 about the same time the GOP won mid-terms was a huge diplomatic feet for this country. As someone who remembers the CCCP, an EAST Germany and a WEST Germany, I never thought I'd see the day when Putin would be intervening on behalf of the USA in a former soviet block country. Bush achieved a great diplomatic victory by keeping all of the would be allies of Iraq from rolling their tanks against our boys. I'm still amazed that not one single country in the region, not a single one, has made a militarily significant maneuver.

Military

You know all of this already, no need to rehash it, so I'll sum it up. From Kabul to Baghdad Bush has defeated 2 of our declared enemies in the course of 18 months. He doesn't have a single credible military detractor.

---

Look, this stuff matters because this stuff has been war-gamed, by us, many many times before. Ya know how to win? The only way to beat a decentralized enemy is to use all the assets at our disposal, and Bush should be applauded for doing just that.

To the poster: Calmly inform your "liberal friend" that YES, there will be isolationist, opportunistic, appeasement based capitulators in the future of American politics who will spend the political equity Bush has earned, but, as a whitness to 9/11, they will not happen in my lifetime.

Now THAT is succinct! Good post!

[reformedliberal]

Every time those subtle tactics work (Libya, North Korea, Syria, maybe), the Left shrugs and switches to new complaint.

If they can't deride it, they can ignore it and raise the bar.

What will just kill them, is that even if he is only a one-term President (which he won't be), the history books are already being written and already, several analysis of the GWB administration range from positive to adulation. OTOH, the books on the last Democrat one-term president uniformly conclude he was a failure, at best.

You must be a gigantic idiot, or like stepping on land mines ... or BOTH! Your man Kerry, gave aid and comfort to the enemy, and admitted to committing war crimes. If Kerry acts as expected, he should chose Hanoi Jane as VP!

You must be a gigantic idiot, or like stepping on landmines. Your man Kerry (The Winter Soldier) gave aid and comfort to the enemy. He pretends to be a war hero, while in the next breath admits to committing war crimes. It wouldn't be an earth jolting surprise if he chose "Hanoi Jane" as his VP running mate. Would you support or oppose that?
