"Bush noted that the days ahead "will demand more patience, sacrifice and resolve." That's undoubtedly true. Hopefully, the "author of liberty" to whom he appealed will grant at least patience and resolve to those in Congress who have forgotten the words to that great old hymn."

Amen. These next two years will determine whether this nation is still worth of it's heritage or not.

Does anyone know where the ridiculous restrictions on the troops have come from? They have to file paperwork after they shoot a gun, every time? Geneva Convention. Don't shoot unless they try to kill you and you can prove it?

It's like the Patriots and the Red Coats, that we were taught -- and we laughed at the Red Coats.

Now suddenly Bush can unrestrict the guys? And he couldn't before? I just don't understand how this works....

War bonds?

Tax surcharge?

Cut domestic programs?

The draft?

What sacrifice? Rhetoric, as I see it.
