I don't regard George W. Bush as a lame-duck president. Between now and next January all sorts of challenging and unexpected events may take place. We can rely on President Bush to react promptly and decisively to them.
We saw this on Sept. 11. The President was as surprised as everyone else, as we grasped from the dramatic photograph of him taken as he was given the dreadful news at an elementary school. But he buckled down quickly to this unprecedented attack on America, determined that such a treacherous outrage should never occur again.
Nor has it. It is worth inquiring why. There is no doubt that attacking the American homeland remains the prime objective of Muslim fundamentalist leaders. Yet they have not done so. One reason for this is the success of Mr. Bush's team in learning the lessons of Sept. 11 and building a security system of impressive strength and sensitivity. It has yet to be breached. Also, the suicide bombers fear being sent to Guantánamo more than they fear death itself. It is right that the prime defender of democracy and freedom should strike terror into the hearts of terrorists.
Brilliant Maneuver
Equally, if not more important, is the way in which Mr. Bush--partly by accident but mainly by design--has switched the war's theater of operations to the death-dealers' territory.

I have no doubt that if gore, kerry, obama or either clinton were in the WH on 9/11 we would all be dhimmis paying jizyah now.
“To dispose of them, one by one, in the West is extremely difficult and expensive...”
And we all know why.
Something the article does not mention was the wisdom of setting up the lightening rod in Iraq. Terrorists flock to this theatre and there we have them on easy terrain.
Regardless of who wins this election, our nation is going to far worse off than under the President’s watch.
I’m afraid the payback for the way the nation (conservatives and liberals) treated this man is going to be terrible.
No other President in my life, including Ronald Reagan, was as honest, steadfast as this one. This nation does not want a real man for a President, they want a wimp or a rock star that will put bandaids on their boo-boos....and they are going to get their wish.
Well said.
Thanks for posting. It's a shame that there are so few responses. This article is a wonderful capsule of the extremely significant success under this President and it is astounding that so many terrorists have died with our casualties SO low.
Bush is far, far more successful than the MSM is allowing the American people to realize. The realization will come in time, however.
God has blessed us in our leadership at this time. We could have had 8 years of fear, insecurity, economic havoc. Because of the President, we have had the opposite.
Looking back over the last few years, I find it hard to fault Mr. Bush on any major point. He has always been brave. He has never shown the slightest fear of unpopularity, putting the needs of the nation before his political fortunes.
Amen. Paul Johnson says it well.
i completely agree with the above... i love our President, and will miss him greatly... i do not agree with him on everything, but i do believe him to truly be a good, honest, honorable man... the not giving in to popular opinion was refreshing after eight years of Clinton... i can even overlook when he didn't give in to my opinion... he believes what he believes... and his beliefs make him who he is...
Well said indeed!
This is true, they want someone they can push around.
This will become the historical take on the Bush years.
The future of the M.E. may have a chance now. The barbarism of sharia law is being exposed to the world. It’s a first step.
“I have no doubt that if gore, kerry, obama or either clinton were in the WH on 9/11 we would all be dhimmis paying jizyah now. “
At the very least, I think Gore, Kerry or Clinton would have dropped a gratuitous bomb over Afghanistan then gone about their merry way, while the jihadists were strengthened tenfold. The tens of thousands of Islamic militants, now dead, would be romping the earth with a mission.

Dear God, you have absolutely no idea how refreshing it is to read something positive about our President, and especially here on FR. I truly believe more people than not will miss him greatly when he leaves office.
From this thread:

Don’t worry, I will post this article in places where it will get a substantial number of views. I also plan to e-mail it far and wide — I recommend that you do the same!!
Why would you assume I wouldn't?
This ones a keeper.
The out of control liberal press has demonized GWB and everything connected to him for eight solid years, and many conservatives helped them the last three for various reasons. McCain and Obama is what it has gotten us.
Even something as fundamental as the success of this war has been morphed into the exact opposite, and seventy percent of Americans believe it....including many here.
