Sadly too many of our own thought to 'punish' this courageous president so they could say 'I told you so'.
The faux patriots encouraged the defections and now we are paying the terrible price.
AMEN!!!
I don't believe this is "fear" at all, but is simply not caring anymore, and of the world becoming jaded by decades of atrocities in Africa.
President George W. Bush , will go down in history as the most decent , hardworking , caring President ever to be in the White House. The day will come, when even Democrats will miss having President G.W. Bush in the oval office.
BUMP!
Ecellent post!

Executive Order: Protecting the Property Rights of the American People

Koch gets it .... unlike most of his Dem collegues, that this is a war that is crucial to be won by the modern Western world, and not allowed to be subjugated by appeasement to Muslim fanatics seeking to destroy civilization
BTTT
WOW...a pro-Bush article.
Thank you!
:-)
Great piece, Ed Koch gets it. Thanks for posting.
Ed Koch is right. Taken in totality, Goerge Bush has the courage to fight. And that is an increasingly rare thing in this soft, squishy world. I have little faith that our next President will have the same sort of courage.
Here is a Dem who gets it. He would get my vote on the one issue of our times. A Politician with Courage is one of the seven wonders of the world.

Hear, hear! And I'm going to especially miss Tony Blair when he retires in May. UK won't be the same without him.
The President is not a man of courage. The absolute first test of courage is to tell the truth, and that is something this President refuses to do.
Unlike RR, who did not hesitate to tell the truth, despite great ridicule and hatred directed at him for doing so, this President has decided that being a poker player is the right approach to the presidency.
We will not win this war if even the President refuses to name our enemy. To do so would take a tremendous act of courage, literally death-defying courage. But until someone such as a President does it, we are bound to lose.
Even such brilliant men such as Edward Koch and Daniel Pipes and and Victor Hansen do not have the courage to name the enemy; they resort to absurd circumlocutions, made-up names, tokens of their fear.
I have no doubt the President is a well meaning man. He is just not a leader, or a man of principle.
"Courage?"
And he demonstrates this how?
By his steadfast support for his judicial nominees and Presidential appointees? (John Bolton being but the latest example)
By his staunch opposition to unConstitutional bills like McCain-Feingold?
By his fearless wielding of his veto power?
That would be, "No, no, and an emphatic 'No!'"
So when did just showing up become "courageous?"
