Let me know if you want in or out

"Fahrenheit 9/11," Moveon.org, Anonymous, Richard Clark and now the Newsweek story about alleged desecration of the Koran — all these sensations of the day have been used to proclaim the supposed sins of the American administration in the Middle East. Even when Americans consider that the president's foreign policy might just be working, he is still caricatured by critics and the media, here and abroad, as a clueless Inspector Clouseau who trips around and only stumbles into his good luck.
How accurate is that cartoon?
Just imagine if George Bush had predicted to us on the morning after September 11 what actually ended up happening....
......<snip>.....
....Had the president promised or even predicted such things after September 11, most of us would have dismissed him as utterly unhinged. But that is precisely what has come to pass.
It is now time to concede it was not entirely a coincidence, and that President Bush was not a "Pink Panther"-like Inspector Clouseau who bumbled about the Middle East, overturned a few things and ended up accidentally accomplishing what legions of "experts" never could.

Hello Osahhhhma.
I seem to recall that Victor Davis Hanson is retired from teaching now. Prior to that, he was one of the few professors to be granted tenure for being CORRECT! ;)
Beware the bim!
"That is not my dog"
Wow, great article.
Yes. President Bush has an excellent chance to go into our history books as one of our great presidents, and you can see this historian starting to pull the pieces together.
It gives me great pleasure to continually read about the ineptness of this administration, how wrong GWB has been in having the unmitigated gall to believe that free men tend to live more peaceful and productive lives.
By instituting a foreign policy dedicated to that premise, our president is attempting to fulfill a promise of his oath of office. Ie: Protecting the United States.
Yes ... let the "experts" make with the jokes and cartoons. And may they die laughing.
VDH bump.
"I thought you said your doooug doooes not biiite"
please add me to your VDH ping list, he's one of the sanest people out there right now, Republican or Democrat.
Wrong end of the horse.
It spells misunderestimating
:^)
Aye! I capitals. ;)
"We will not waver, we will not tire, we will not falter, we will not fail." - President Bush.
As usual liberals were on the wrong side of history. Do these losers ever get tired of being wrong or is it a genetic deficiency ? Is it possible liberals have the loser gene ?
