The UN ploy was useful. First, it was only used to build up the troops to sufficient levels. And second, it has shown the world (but most importantly, U.S. citizens) just how useless the UN is. Now the U.S. can pull out of the UN and then kick their worthless a$$es out of the U.S. for good. Once the war starts all this foot dragging will be forgotten, a non-issue. Once again, the President was masterful, using the UN and then discarding it, like a cheap French whore. Kind of reminds one of Bill Clinton.

One wonders what Clinton, or Gore, would have done after 9/11.

I'd hate to think of the liberal left, with all their agendas and general diregard for national defense and national security, what they might have done.

I think we are fortunate to have Bush now, and his cabinet.... even with some friction here and there.

The war on terrorism ALONG with the war on Iraq has to have some bumps in the road. I think Bush has done a masterful job.
