Bush may lose yet but it will be a pyrrhic victory for the libs in this country. They think we are at the Viet-Nam critical mass after 2 months of bad news. If Bush falls because of this and the obvious treason of the left it will make the dissolution of this country a very real possibility. Unlike Viet-Nam the libs have struck too early, there is still a solid 50% of this country that understands the danger of losing in Iraq and civil war is just one terrorist attack away.

He's placed his bet.
Like a riverboat gambler, with ice water running in his veins.
I like. :)
Why should he change postures? His resolve is strong, he believes in his policy so why should he back down or away from it? Lest we forget his faith in the Iraqi people to build a free and democratic Iraq from the ground up remains equally strong. Bush is optimistic of the end result, his critics are just bitter old sots who said the same couldn't be done in Afghanistan. Well, Afghanistan will send athletes to the Olympic games for the first time in decades, this summer, granted there have been some degree of turmoil in Afghanistan, but on the whole, one cannot deny or dispute the fact that Afghanistan is more of a democracy than it ever has been in recent decades.
That's solely because of Iraq....The American people are identifying themselves and their country's fortunes with the progress or perceived lack of progress in Iraq."
Since the media can no longer BS the people about the economy they BS them about Iraq.
If there are buried WMDs in Syria that we have knowledge of that were from Iraq, go get them and bury the Democrats once and for all and get a +60% super majority in the Senate as a bonus.
Hope they do it.
His steadiness is beginning to remind me of the Gipper.
I found it interesting that he kept talking about "Representative Government" rather than democracy last night. It seemed like a change in tone. Not that I have a problem with it. I think the term democracy is widely misunderstood, and it is NOT something we want to live under. Think socializm, anarchy, and 'liberaltarianism'.
I mean democracy is not something THEY want to live under.
Thank the dear Lord we don't have Willy the weasel or Johnny the flip flop handling this.

Then how come so many polls are still telling us "it's the economy, stupid?"
Because Bush is sound and resolved in his decisions I feel secure. I have totally done away with my television. It became so that I couldn't watch it without beginning to worry because of all of the negativity. My kids don't like it one bit but hey, they will survive.
Outstanding President. Outstanding Administration.
If the elections is going to be about Iraq, what is the choice for the Voters?
Vote for someone who is willing to make the difficult descision, and go after terrorist, or someone who will fire a few cruise missles in the general direction of the terrorist and then claim victory?
I know it is a stretch, the only hope the Democrats had was to nominate someone who was even more pro-war (against terror) then President Bush. Someone who would say they would use all the military force available against the enemy. Someone who said they would close our borders,and deport illegal aliens.
The Democrats do not believe in any of that and so their solution is to run to the UN, and promise we will not defend ourselves if attacked.
That is the choice come November, does anyone really see a ground swell for surrender (outside of the well known liberal centers)?
I have faith in the American voters, so does President Bush.
Nothing else counts. As SA goes, so goes the future of our country and of the world.
BUMP
Americans respect competent and steady leadership. Bush is doing the exact right thing.
We are free. Unfortunately, we are free to vote stupidly, on the basis of very little, false information, and we see in the polls that most people do indeed vote on the basis of very little information and most of it false.
I am proud to death of Bush for going for the big picture and not for self-glorification. Maybe it comes from serving a Higher Authority than himself.
One thing I've learned from Common Tator is that a team that is winning does not change stratagy. The Whitehouse and Rove have very good polls and those polls tell them not to change tactics. Kerry has polls to and they tell him he is doing so poorly that he may need to decline the 'rat nomination at convention and pick a Republican Senator as a VP to win. The media polls are worthless. Look and see what the candidates are doing and you can see who is winning and losing. A winner doesn't say petty things like "did he lose his training wheels." Losers say stuff like that.
My money is on Bush. I called the White House comment line this morning and said I was disappointed in the speech, though. I said I support Bush 100% but I thought he should have been more outraged over the atrocities against our people over there - also over the atrocities committed by Saddam Hussein against his own people. And I said he needs a new VP - no offense to Cheney but he's dragging down the ticket.
My money is own him. Our future is on him. He is playing the hand very well and not distracted by others' bluffs.
Bush in 2004!!!
