HOW W GOT HIS MOJO BACK; BEHIND BUSH'S GREAT WEEK
The NY Post ^ | 6/15/06 | Clark S. Judge

Posted on 06/15/2006 4:01:18 AM PDT by NJRighty

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.

Oh, but you ARE missed!

But your statement is true for so many of us. That is why that small group has been able to make such a large showing, of late. People are fed up with the thread hijacking, the constant nay saying, the personal attacks and name calling, and the incessant doom and gloom from that group.

It's a tough call as to whether to completely ignore this very bad behavior, or to engage in stopping it, IMO.

If you give the dog a biscuit every time he pees on the carpet...

Thanks for the ping, Howlin.

You're right...it's time for the rest of us to speak up, stop taking days or months off from FR and take back this forum. There are more of us than there is of "them" and people, though weary of the fight, need to again join the fray.

Yes, it's better to be a bot and blindly accept everything that Bush does or doesn't do.

The opposite of crazy is still crazy.

Griping is one thing MizS, we can agree. It's the threadjacking, behavior and rhetoric that approaches and meets DUmmy levels that so many of us are sick and tired of.

Conservatives simply do not act as unseemly as some posters exhibit here on FR. Rational discussion and debate is always welcome, of course, that's what we need in this country. But their posts have become anything but that.

-there are a lot of negative nellies these days. While I am disappointed in Bush on immigration, I can still applaud a great week for him. And THIS was a great week. Despite all the bad publicity the MSM slings his way, he always pulls through. Again and again.

WHO'D have thought it possible even a month ago? President Bush is getting his mojo back.

Bush didn't do anything different this week than he did the last week. It's not HE who has changed, it's the opinion of those who read the papers, and whose opinion previously was swayed by the journalists who don't like the President. It's just that what he did this past week managed to cut through the cloud of BS usually thrown up by the media.

I was reading something yesterday about President Reagan's second term. It was about this same time into his term that 'conservatives' started bitching and moaning that he had 'betrayed' them, and they started bad-mouthing him. So it sounds like President Bush is in pretty good company.

Great post.

I see the other respondant is inured to the destruction of our society and nationality.

He, like Bush, is looking forward to the "new America".

THE "NEW AMERICAN"

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.

You didn't successfully refute any of my points and resorted to the Bushbot line.

Are you really that dense or do you simply wish to argue. I was agreeing with several of your points. Why would I try to refute them?

That shows you are out of facts.

This shows you lack the ability to read.
