Until we get a leader that is willing to STOP the LEAKS dead in their tracks, and send the 'enemy within' to prison or death, we will NEVER win this war or any other war.

I have supported President Bush and I have no regrets for this. I'm one of those Bushbots that many of the slobbering bugs like to bash.

BUT, President Bush has lost most of my respect and admiration for not going after the leakers of CLASSIFIED information. These leakers are no different than spies and should be dealt with accordingly....regardless of political party or status.

I know what you mean.
Bush desperately needs to get out and "sell" the war.
Whatever he needs to change within himself or some ability he needs to learn to get out of his comfort zone.
But it almost seems too late. The rats have succeedes in getting a tremendous amount of domestic and world opinion against him without any shame or conscience or knowledge of history. They are acting purely political and transparent but they are winning because Bush is letting them.
The problem is we all lose not just Bush's presidency.

Read the memo. There is obviously nothing in it that damages national security. It does damage the credibility of the entire administration. Look at the #1 least desirable option-
"Below the Line (less attractive options):

¶Continue on the current path.

¶Move a large fraction of all U.S. Forces into Baghdad to attempt to control it.

¶Increase Brigade Combat Teams and U.S. forces in Iraq substantially."

The partisan hacks on BOTH sides of the aisle did far more damage than whoever leaked this memo. Notice that force reductions and withdrawals rank very high on the list. "Stay the course" was ill advised from the outset. Pursue, kill, and harass the enemy mercilessly and ruthlessly works every time. When it was decided to let Mookie live, that one seemingly inconsequential decision had far reaching impact. And nobody has owned up to that decision. Whoever does, should be summarily discharged from their duties.
