I'm really getting sick and tired of all the petty little snivelers who do nothing more than whine and complain.

People who expect perfection will always be disappointed.

People who expect any given candidate to be exactly on the same page as they are on every issue will always be disappointed.

I, for one, am delighted about the events of the past week.

Allegra, have you had time to get a feel for how President Bush's trip to Iraq is being viewed by the Iraqis themselves? I thought it was a masterful stroke on his part, and I hope and believe that it will result in tangible benefits on many different levels.

As one example, the scene where Prime Minister Maliki touches his heart as a gesture of respect. Our MSM has studiously avoided giving that visual much play, but is it being shown in Iraq?

And you are one who really KNOWS what's going on.

Whoever said "Perfection is the enemy of good" understands the darkness pervading FR these days.

President Bush's vision of a free Iraq is unfolding before our eyes.........the true evil of Saddam Hussein and his deep ties with the terrorists who murdered 3,000 of our citizens being made clear.

This is not about 'mojo' (though I like the phrase).......this is about perseverance and patience, and refusing to be swayed by polls and popularity.

In other words, this is about CHARACTER and true LEADERSHIP.
