I did a search and didn't find this. Hope it's not already posted.

God bless President Bush.

Now if he'd just do something about all the criminal aliens...

[JusPasenThru]

Dubbya bump.

[AgThorn]

Amen! God Bless this man, as he free's Iraq and makes our homeland more secure.

IMHO....
If Bush wants to "Lock-Down" re-election...this conflict must be WON before then, Cheney and Rummie step down, and Powell elevated to VP.

That combo covers EVERYTHING! no?

Actually, I kind of like the idea of pairing up Clint Eastwood and Hugh Grant in a cowboy movie.

I remember the Carter years well. The Iranian hostage situation certainly did reduce Carter to a pathetic figure, helped along by Ted Koppel's nightly "America Held Hostage" broadcast (which later turned into "Nightline"). It was always said that Jimmy Carter was the 53rd hostage. Typical of Jimmy Carter was the spectacularly audacious "rescue mission" that resulted in the needless loss of American lives. The military equivalent of a "Hail Mary," it was sort of like Bill Clinton trying to dislodge Saddam by lobbing a few million-dollar cruise missiles at some tents out in the desert.

Great find! Thanks for posting and if a dupe, oh well, we need more good news!!!!!!

Actually, this is more reminiscent of another President who was widely derided for not being interested in the details, was generally hands-off in management style and always got a lot of sleep, especially during Cabinet meetings...

Oh, yeah, that President also won the Cold War. Good to know that Dubya is following a good role model.

P.S. I'm thinking of Ronald Reagan.

It's been so long since we've had anything in this country to feel proud about. Tears well up in my eyes now when I think of President Bush and the troops overseas. We really are the LAND OF THE FREE and the HOME OF THE BRAVE!

[NeoCaveman]

Bump!

[harpo11]

Sometimes with all of the talk of liberation and freedom the President has had to do, it is apparent to me that he is doing it for the benefit of some Americans who seem to not understand the concept more than for the Ibenefit of Iraqi's oppressed citizens.

God Bless President George W. Bush who will indeed be one of America's most respected, greatest, boldest, strongest leadership president.

What I Luv about GW is the fact that he keeps his "eye on the prize".
He is a straight talker and makes no apologies for his intentions.
What a breath of fresh air after 8 yrs of doubletalk and gobbledeegook from the Toons!

A New York Times/CBS News poll conducted last week showed that about 70 percent of Americans surveyed supported the war despite a number just as high saying the Bush administration hadn’t done an adequate job of explaining the cost involved, how long the war would last or how many American troops could be killed.

This is an issue only to journalists, who seem to think that any question they can formulate requires an answer. Most people are smarter than journalists, and they understand that humans do not know the future. To demand that Bush -- or anyone else -- "explain" how long the war will last, how much it will cost (depends on how long it lasts), and what the casualties will be (totally unknowable), is ridiculous.

What people really want to be assured of on those issues is that the people who have planned it and are executing it are knowledgeable and competent, and that they are taking what measures they can (given this is a war) to minimize casualties, and only secondarily, costs. The 70% rating means that people are comfortable that this is the case, i.e. that Bush has trustworthy, competent people in place. That most journalists do not believe this is obvious from their questions at the daily press briefings, but they are clearly out of touch and not a little bit arrogant. Here comes Joe Reporter, who wouldn't know an AK-47 from a helicopter, to ask whether a four-star General has considered the possibility that the Iraqis might shoot back. It is to laugh. What's amazing is that so few journalists understand why people are laughing at them.

he seemed unburdened with the need to explain himself, detail his motives or elaborate upon his inner thoughts.

The way of a true leader, imo . . .

It isn’t a matter of timetable, it’s a matter of victory.

[GretchenEE]

“This has become a legacy maker or breaker,” Crockett says. “He’ll either reap the rewards or suffer the consequences.”

And our president is just as *worried* about that as he is about everything else the author says he isn't worried about.

Damn, Im glad I voted for "W"!!!
