June 15, 2006 -- WHO'D have thought it possible even a month ago? President Bush is getting his mojo back.
The president just had the best week of his second term, perhaps of his entire presidency - and the end of the investigation of Karl Rove, which would have been the headline grabber not long ago, had little to do with it.
Instead, the president's brilliantly conceived and executed trip to Baghdad - giving exactly the right boost at the right time to new Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki - capped off seven days that included the forming of a full Iraqi Cabinet and the success of the U.S. military in locating, bombing and killing Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the sadistic Jordanian-born insurgency leader that Osama bin Laden once called the "prince of Iraq."
Equally significant, the night Zarqawi died, American forces staged 17 raids on insurgent targets. By Monday, they had launched 140 more. On the day of the president's visit, 75,000 troops fanned out over Baghdad, ordered to clear the Iraqi capital of the violence and anarchy that has plagued it for months.

There is something fundamentally wrong with those who see everything in life through the prism of immigration. And it is difficult to distinguish them from the leftists who join forces with them to dominate this forum with Bush bashing on every thread.
It's a tough call as to whether to completely ignore this very bad behavior, or to engage in stopping it, IMO.
On the one hand it seems wrong to let them take over the forum (they always post early on the thread........it's not hard to see the MO), and on the other if you engage them in discussion, they have succeeded in their attempts to take over the thread.
What is required here is self-control on their parts...........and that clearly will never happen.
Yes, I agree, it is a judgement call as to wether to reply or not to his sort of bilge. Sometimes, what they say is just so bad and such a lie that you have to reply.
So many of us feel the very same way.
I'm not pretending that I am particularly missed, but I was once an active thread starter - not anymore.
It's time for the REST of us to speak the hell up and get this forum BACK to where it was.
Bump!!!!
Politics aside, it was a great week for the good guys --- the United States of America.
YES! I've been yelling my head off about that. And slapping down rude troll-like creatures on here until I'm weary of it.
Good to see you back. Are you doing OK? You have been in my prayers.
I smell a bot.
Zarqawi had a thumbdrive in his pocket....:-)
...AND he wasn't glad to see us!!
Thanks for the ping, I agree that #125 is pretty accurate. Hope all is well for you and yours. The number of single-issue people astounds me.
Thanks for the ping. How are you?
Yup, that was made apparent when he tried to roll off the gurney in front of our troops.
Got that right! As you once told me, there are some people around here who aren't happy unless they are raining on someone's parade. Well, it's been a monsoon around here lately.
BTW, it's good to see you! You and your family have been in my prayers.
Thank you for so courteously and magnanimously saying what so badly needed saying.
Good. Thanks.
Amazing. They just continue to ignore the immigration issue.
You have a loose movement of the mouth. Take a little Kaopectate for it. You'll be fine in the morning.
hope you were equally concerned when all those MA types started invading NH
Squawking 7777, threadjack in progress!
I love that he lived long enough to know that the U.S. troops wasted him.
