A salute to the CIC and a nod to Ed Koch for his clear thinking.
Fuuny you said that because the Israeli governement and politicians on both sides of the spectrum there say he is the best ally Israel has ever had in the US governement. If GW caved on Israel, I would like to see your expressions for all the other presidents that have done less.

"The day will come, when even Democrats will miss having President G.W. Bush in the oval office."
Unfortunately, for the Democrats that day will probably be when the same announcement is made about him as was made about Gerald Ford today. Hopefully in another 40-50 years after he and Laura have had a magnificent retirement in Crawford while the Dems and their media allies are still bellyaching about his successors.
Actually he is much more than that. He is a good family man, a good Christian, an excellent CIC, a fighter pilot, a Harvard MBA, the former Governor of Texas and the present POTUS.
In addition he is a man of his word. He supported what he campaigned for and he opposed what he campaigned against whether we agreed with him or not.
In addition Iraq, Afghanistan and jihadism in general were and are our concern, Mr. Adams not withstanding.
Blame the stupid uniformed voters who could not see Victory as a must in an international war and the Quisling media who actually wants W to fail here to punish any attempt at any conservPub again to run this nation, go to war for any reason and try to cut taxes. W has made many many mistakes. He is not a coward and is the last hope to stand against Iran as well as the Islamofascists in the ME. I fear for our future in the hands of the Quisling Dems and I see not end to their rule for years. Unless of course they blow it by really betraying the nation somehow in the near future.
As are many others I imagine. I'm not doubting the man is good, far from it. I do believe he is a good man. But not a hero. A politician
In addition Iraq, Afghanistan and jihadism in general were and are our concern, Mr. Adams not withstanding
Yes, continuing the cleanup from Mr. Wilson's foray into 'spreading democracy'. And only 85 years later. How about that...
It worked in Japan, S. Korea, Germany, Italy, Phillipines, Nicaragua, El Salvador, not to mention eastern Europe and many former USSR territories. So gunbarrel democracy aint a bad thing, especially when you consider the alternatives.
It would have worked in Vietnam had the dems not pulled the rug out from under that war.
Does Saudi Arabia really have that kind of excess capacity? Anybody know?
Finally the root cause for jihadism, Woodrow Wilson! Who knew?
George Bush is a hero to me because he has courage
I hold it that his (George W. Bush) moral resolve, stamps him as one of the greatest leaders to emerge in the last 100 years.
For anyone that takes the time to study American history, there are examples. The courage of President Ford in giving a pardon to former President Richard Nixon is one.
He recognized that the vicious detractors of Nixon and the spiteful press, had exaggerated the faults of Nixon ten fold. We are told it cost Ford the Presidency.
I notice that it is being said that President Ford was the only un-elected President. (CNN et al). Another man was President Andrew Johnson, he succeeded President Lincoln. I stand corrected but that he too, was never elected.
Again, this man stood for what he believed in. The vilification and hatred for him, brought about an impeachment attempt. One lone vote saved him. It cost him the chance at the next Presidential election. He stood strong. History has judged him kindly. I quote something I read on the internet . George W. Bush will go down in history as a man, yes, a man with faults, but a man.
Yes, it sounded like the Gay Peace Movement's Platform for Total Grooviness.
I know. People actually determining their own fate?!? My God, the absolute terror of it all. Oh wait, that's what this nation did isn't it? So it's good enough for us but contrary to the Framers we have to make sure it's good enough for everybody else too. It is not only unfeasible, it is impossible to make a lasting change by the barrel of a gun. Many of the nations you mentioned that democracy still exists in today had already made forays into that form of government or relations with countries that had western forms of government before US forces 'introduced' it.
It would have worked in Vietnam had the dems not pulled the rug out from under that war.
I know. Can you imagine it? Vietnam as one of the capitalistic leaders of Southeast Asia. What kind of economy that would have been....oh wait, that's happening now isn't it? Where were Bush and Blair recently? And without one gun.....Guess Johnson and his 'dominoes' were full of it.
Bush is scum for trying to force amnesty on the American people. Bush cares more about illegal aliens than he does about Americans.
Bump.
Now here's a GREAT former mayor speaking up for a GREAT president.
And the libs won't give a damn. They'll just say that it's Bush's fault because Bush pissed off the terrorists.
Stop your whining. There's a difference in disagreeing with the Prez and being a boot-licker.
No man is God.
great stuff!
