Well I may be crazy or brainwashed but I could win the lottery tomorrow and still stay til retirement, and that's 12 years away! The great thing about our military is that those who want to serve are there allowing those who would be less than 100% in their effort through a draft, to do what their heart desires.

Rummy hates leaks worse than GW.

Amen. Thank you for your service! The Clinton moles and leakers are traitors, yet OUR press sees these moles as heros and our CIC as the enemy. If American journalists can't tell that our President is more trustworthy than Saddam, how can they be trusted to cover the news?

Andrew Sullivan has the best explanation for the current destructive behavior of the left I've seen. They should not be in possession of sharp objects - or pens right now.

I feel something different about Bush, some kind of deep trust that he won't let us down, along with, in my case, a pretty strong belief in the principles of limited government and proud enterprise he is espousing. But Bush shows, I think, that successful politicians, like successful countries, don't have to court approval for everything they do to command respect for the principles that animate them. Yes, Bush, like most pols, has cut corners with principles along the way. But he has them, he hasn't lost them, and they remain a lodestar for the trials ahead. This is, indeed, an unexpectedly radical administration. And the stakes keep getting higher. If we wage a successful war in Iraq, the academic and elite left in this country, previously deeply wounded, cannot survive. They will be shown for what they are: defenders of everything real liberals should oppose. That, I suspect, is why so many of them are resisting the war so fiercely. They know that their fate is now bound up with Saddam's. What an irony. But what an opportunity to despatch both at once.   -  Andrew Sullivan, Jan. 26 2003
