President's Address to the Nation-Transcript and Video

What a powerful speech. GW Bush does not possess the oratorical skill of Ronald Reagan, but he has the heart and tenacity of Winston Churchill. And that, is much, much more dangerous to Bush's enemies, both foreign and domestic.

BTTT

thx. :)

Thanks for post - I want to read this speech carefully.

All honor and thanks to our troops! They are in my prayers.

Thank you, President Bush, for standing firm.

Thank you.

I just had a thought about the demands for 'strategy'... all the loud cacophony to spell out America's strategy...

I use football metaphors when I say this demand is no different than demanding Vince Lombardi explain his playbook in a pregame show.

I support my President 100%.
I am disgusted beyond anyone's imagination by those who would undermine him.

you're welcome :)

"The last speech he gave, he used the word 'victory' 14 times. What does that mean?" -Harry Reid

Well Harry... here's what the dictionary says:

victory
n : a successful ending of a struggle or contest; "the general always gets credit for his army's victory"; "the agreement was a triumph for common sense" [syn: triumph] [ant: defeat]

Now here's 'victory' as it relates to Iraq... described by your president last night:

“...a democratic Iraq that can defend itself, that will never again be a safe haven for terrorists, and that will serve as a model of freedom for the Middle East”

What fu_king part don't you get?!!

The Ds are clueless.
Worse, they are seditious.

RE: a not-so-modest proposal concerning hillary clinton

Dear Concerned Americans,

Hillary Clinton's revisionist tome notwithstanding, 'living history' begets a certain symmetry. It is in that light that I make this not-so-modest proposal on this day, exactly 64 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The context of our concern today--regardless of political affiliation--is Iraq and The War on Terror, but the larger fear is that our democracy may not survive.

We have the requisite machines, power and know-how to defeat the enemy in Iraq and elsewhere, but do we have the will?

In particular, do we have the will to identify and defeat the enemy in our midst?

Answerable to no one, heir apparent in her own mind, self-serving in the extreme, Hillary Clinton incarnates this insidious new threat to our survival.

What we decide to do about Missus Clinton will tell us much about what awaits us in these perilous new times.

A CALL TO IMPEACH CLINTON IN ABSENTIA

A CALL TO IMPEACH CLINTON IN ABSENTIA by Mia T, 11.17.05

id you see it? More to the point, did the American press?

bill clinton made page one of Al Jazeera today. A schizophrenic mix of schadenfreude and agitprop, it was the story of an impeached ex-president of America trashing America--to standing Os--in the Arab state of Dubai--in the middle of a war zone--only several hundred miles from the American troops--American troops protecting his--and his missus'--seditious and cowardly collective _ _ _.

And, to rub it in, the traitor pocketed no less than $200,000 from the enemy for his troubles.

Having failed to snare the Nobel Peace Prize by ignoring terrorism, clinton has apparently decided to intensify his America-bashing on foreign soil, the method employed by Jimmy Carter to great (if somewhat belated) effect.

(The Nobel committee, sufficiently mollified only after 24 years of the peanut president's America-bashing, awarded Carter his 1978 Peace Prize finally in 2002.)

Meanwhile, back in the Senate, the missus, the other half of the clinton construct, maintains her hawkish pose (although not without bird problems of another sort).

Yet another example of the clinton conflation ploy, (see SCHEMA PINOCCHIO: how the clintons are handling the hillary dud factor), this variant allows "clinton, the construct" to hold two mutually exclusive positions simultaneously, thereby enabling the missus to avoid in '08 the trap that repeatedly ensnared the ever 'nuanced' Kerry in '04.

Do you now understand how stupid the clintons think you are?

by Mia T, 11.11.05

This legacy confab is in and of itself proof certain of clinton's deeply flawed character, and a demonstration in real time of the way in which the clinton years were about a legacy that was incidentally a presidency.

Madeleine Albright captured the essence of this dysfunctional presidency best when she explained why clinton couldn't go after bin Laden.

According to Richard Miniter, the Albright revelation occurred at the cabinet meeting that would decide the disposition of the USS Cole bombing by al Qaeda [that is to say, that would decide to do what it had always done when a "bimbo" was not spilling the beans on the clintons: Nothing]. Only Clarke wanted to retaliate militarily for this unambiguous act of war.

Albright explained that a [sham] Mideast accord would yield [if not peace for the principals, surely] a Nobel Peace Prize for clinton. Kill or capture bin Laden and clinton could kiss the 'accord' and the Peace Prize good-bye.

If clinton liberalism, smallness, cowardice, corruption, perfidy--and, to borrow a phrase from Andrew Cuomo, clinton cluelessness--played a part, it was, in the end, the Nobel Peace Prize that produced the puerile pertinacity that enabled the clintons to shrug off terrorism's global danger.

COMPLETE ARTICLE

C-SPAN asked noted presidential historians to rank the American presidents¹ along the following ten dimensions: public persuasion, crisis leadership, economic management, moral authority, international relations, administrative skills, relations with congress, vision/setting an agenda, pursued equal justice for all, and performance within context of times.

bill clinton emerged as middling in most dimensions; he was surpassed in others by a settled mediocrity (Carter) and a putative failure (Nixon). In moral authority, bill clinton was rated dead last.² He did fairly well in public persuasion, not a surprising finding given the volume of snake oil he managed to peddle during his putative presidency.

"It's NOT the economy, stupid!"

Clinton's best scores were on the economic management and pursued equal justice for all dimensions. However, both of these results are meaningful only insofar as they redound to the moral authority dimension: they are wholly based on clinton fraudulence, cooked books and black poses, respectively; and clinton's shameless Rosa Parks eulogy last week assured us that the insidious brand of clinton racism is alive and well during these tiptoe years of what the clintons hope will be their interregnum.

Note that although Brinkley doesn't place much importance on the economic management dimension--he argues that the economy variable is not durable over time--he fails to recognize that the evaluation of the clinton economy by the historians is erroneous to begin with.

Note also that C-SPAN historians found no evidence of clinton "greatness" irrespective of his moral-authority deficit, contrary to Douglas Brinkley's claim made at the clinton revisionist confab³.

(NOTE: My later research has revealed that Brinkley's qualified mention of clinton "greatness" was not a claim but rather a polite guest's white lie about an abject loser. Instead of taking the AP report at face value, one must carefully parse Brinkley's actual words and especially note the subjunctive construction.)

MIDDLING

Twenty presidents rank higher than bill clinton and 20 rank lower. But this placement assumes equal weight for each of the dimensions. And therein lies the flaw.

If 9/11 taught us anything, it is that presidential character and moral authority count, and count most.⁴ If the variables are properly weighted, bill clinton will always come out dead last.

That is, unless Americans are dumb enough to make the same mistake twice.

The last speech he gave, he used the word 'victory' 14 times. What does that mean?" -Harry Reid

Well since Harry has very few victories in his life to point to compared to the many many many faileures of his Democrat Leadership it is understandable he does not recognize, nor understand, the concept of VICTORY.

For example Harry and his Merry band of taitor wanna bees have failed to provide us with a Democrat Party National Plan for...Iraq/Tax/Economy/National Security/Health Care/Education/Spending/Border Control and Immigration/Gulf Coast Reconstruction/National Energy Independence/North Korea ect ect ect ect. In fact, other then whining endlessly about everything, the current Democrat Party does NOT seem to have a plan for ANYTHING.

Ping back to me to reread later.

bump!

HORNS: Bush vs. clinton by Mia T, 12.19.05


ARTICLE

They have a plan... and it's called 'subversion'. Only through a national repudiation of Republican, foreign & domestic policy, will America embrace euro-style socialism.

They have become the Opposition Party... and with the MSM by their side, they now exist solely to obstruct and divide... rather than work together.

They are a poison.

you're welcome :)

Thank you so much for posting. So very lovely and truth-filled.
