They think he may be right. They're not sure, but at least they understand his thinking. This lady knows he is right.
If Bill Clinton, who thought Iraq had WMDs, had invaded Iraq post-9/11 and not found them, he would have been thrown out of office.
She missed it there.
They can tell he is not doing it all by polls and focus groups. If he were doing it by polls and focus groups he wouldn't have defied the U.N., invaded Iraq, and pursued its democracy.
Right on.
Mr. Bush has the calm and anxious face of an American man who believes in God but just read the raw threat file. He knows what trouble we're in and he knows what time it is. He is alert and determined but ultimately trusting and hopeful, because there really is a God and he really is watching.
Beautifully expressed.
[Re Kerry] And it looks a little hollow in there.
Wonderful observation.

This is well said. I live on the coast on people don't get Bush. The heartland clearly sees it differently.

Within a week or two of Bill Clinton's approval ratings dropping below 50, he was all too eager to negotiate a cease-fire with Serbia. The bombing stopped very soon after.

Mr. Bush's critics say he sees things too much in black and white, but he is addressing the central issues of life and death. Grey areas are the last bastion for the liberal mind.

Peggy Noonan is an expert with the shiv, and here she was working with issues as clear as day. America's not stupid, and the RATS are.

As if homeland security is an issue, or civil defense, or preparedness. They're not issues. They're life and death. Mr. Kerry doesn't seem to know. And that's the bottom line.

Americans do not think Mr. Bush has a persona to dazzle history, they think he is the average American man, but the average American man as they understand the term: straight shooter, hard worker, decent, America-loving, God-loving. Yep. She's right on the money. Great editorial.

John F'n Kerry is no "Larry the Cucumber"! LOL!
Theresa probably says the same thing.
