In "Fate is the Hunter", Ernest K. Gann tells us of a fellow pilot with whom he had occasion to share a long flight. The pilot's name was Park and he was from Texas....
"Park was what so many Texans think they are, or would like to be. He was long and lean and hard. His pale gray eyes belonged behind the sights of a gun barrel and his walk seemed wrong without the clinking of spurs. He was a shy man and quiet spoken, a wonderfully simple man and if he had any nerves I had yet to observe them."
And later.....
"Park's voice suddenly faded away as it often did when he had pronounced the meat of his thoughts; He had no use whatsoever for verbal trimmings."
I cannot imagine a better description of the one of America's finest Presidents - George W. Bush.

I was aware that I was watching a truly historic moment and it made me so proud that someone from my home state and someone I supported and voted for rose to the greatness I thought they were capable of...

And hundreds of British citizens. (whispering) "subjects," Mr. President.
These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion. The Taliban must act and act immediately. They will hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate.
I won't be standing up for a few minutes - there are ladies present here ;)
My God, what a speech.

"Churchillian" is the word that Tony Snow used. I cannot improve upon his observation.
I would remind all FReepers that DubYa was trained as an USAF fighter pilot. The attitude and approach to life that pilot training imbues in a man stays with him for life. The phrase "Don't mess with Texas" comes to life, in DubYa's case, as "Don't mess with a Texas fighter pilot."

Wow! What an excellent speech! I wonder how much of it he wrote himself? Either way, I'm impressed.

T"HANKS for teh post!
Michael Savage said earlier tonight (before the Speech) "Liberalism in America is dead after Sept. 11, 2001."
This MASTERFUL & IMPECCABLE speech was the "verbal coda" of its death knell.
Bush has been called by DESTINY to lead the Nation & the World at this HOUR!
