The wind beneath Bush’s wings. – Open letter to FREEPERS.(clean version)

You're pretty eloquent for an old pilot.

"I want all of you to consider your comments over the coming days. Things are going to get ugly, because the Democrats and MSM are in full Attack-Mode, and President Bush is making some ugly passes at the ship right now. What he needs, is not a bunch of folks on our side piling on, yelling in his radio, telling him what to do, and criticizing him when he doesn’t get it right. He needs us to remember that he would not be there, if he did not know what he was doing. We need to let him ‘fly the jet’, folks."

Naval aviators always tell the greatest stories! And in this case, even the *true* ones! Very nicely done!!

OK-3 on the rant, PD! I was sorely in need of some perspective tonight. Thanks!

[freeagle]

I am tremendously edified. Thank you.

It has been suggested to me that I start my own blog, if I am going to be taking up this much space.

Somebody would just post your entries here anyway. What's the difference? I'm sure your FR contribution$ are adequate enough to warrant the extra bandwidth.

“Where are all the men?” I looked, and noticed that the entire crowd of refugees, black, white or whatever, consisted solely of women young and old, and children with the occasional elderly man among them. Younger, stronger, capable men were nowhere to be found.

I wondered if it was just me.

Almost all the footage I've seen, is either young men roaming together, or women with children and/or elderly. Only occasionally have I seen both together. It's just strange.

Good post, btw.

For your service and your post, one phrase sums it all...

Bravo zulu.

Naval aviators always tell the greatest stories!

I've told better ones after a few beers. No Navy pilot gets away without one night in the box, where they are sure they are going to die. I'm stealing your graphic. No, I'm looting it. Thanks!

Fine post - dang fine.

[ATCNavyRetiree]

A GREAT essay by a fine Naval Aviator!!
I sent this out to ALL my Republican friends!

Absolutely beautiful.

sorry if I pinged anyone more than once.. - I loosed all the ping lists on this one.

I pray for my President every day.

[pollyannaish]

PD,

That is the single most impressive rant you have ever written. Made me misty.

I believe that President Bush is going to step up to the plate once again. He has never let us down, but the weight of the world must be truly unbearable. Sometimes his challenges me of the story of Job.

May God bless the President and our countrymen. We need it now, more than ever.

Now, if it's not too much trouble, could you add me to your ping list? I'd hate to miss one of these things.

Thank you.

Starting this coming weeks and months, as long as it takes, please join me in fasting and prayer for our President! Choose the day and time for your fast as you wish! Let's show the Almighty how far we are willing to go in behalf of our brother in Christ, our president, who we respect and love! Lincoln said this, and it applies to this day..Lincoln, "I driven to my knees by the conviction that I have no where else to go". AWESOME!

[RoseofTexas]

I should read I'm driven...

it's been a long day...:(

[potlatch]

Wonderful post Pukin Dog!

Thanks for the ping bitt.

[billnaz]

I thought it was a great post, especially the carrier landing story. You're right, the liberals need to shut up and let President Bush fly the plane.

And I'll bet you got another back-seater.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so much for the ping! I join in prayer for our President every day!
