I think "bring it on" was great for his supporters and the belief in our soldeiers..It did bring much disapproval down on him world wide..
The dead or alive comment is a natural thing to roll off the tongue of a Texan,also..I saw no harm..but it isn't diplospeak..The thing that I like about him sets the hand wringers off.
THEY say he regrets..He says he might have been too blunt and he got in trouble with Laura..She knows he increased the size of the target on his back.
The piece picks and chooses what it wants to emphasize...That Bush has been wrong and must do better...but we all knew that/sarcasm..I hear it everyday.
More 'creative journalism' from the left, I'd say.
