This is Bush’s second biggest challenge of his Presidency. In some respects you could say his biggest till date. The commies are a whole different ball game than the Islamofascists.
The Russians are playing this perfectly. We need a break. (We’ll get one, but maybe not soon enough to help the Georgians).
The Commies are largely responsible for much of the islamo-fascists in the middle-east. From arming every tin pot Muslim dictator with delusions of granduer during the cold war, to funding and training terrorists wherever they could find them during the same period.
Putin and Co., are simply doing the only thing they know how to do effectively.
