Seeing as how President Bush has been stabbed in the back at every turn by career bureaucrats in the CIA, State Dept. and elsewhere perhaps a candidate who knows how to clean house is what we need.
Although Rudy is not my pick, I’d still offer a loud applause to your comment. President Bush has played Mr. Nice Guy far too long and hesitated in too many areas trying to be “politically correct” (imho Iraq should have been turned into a parking lot a long time ago) so perhaps a Rudy who plays hardball to get the job done would be a welcome relief.
