I'm sorry, but there is no way Bush can be compared to the commanders of old who actually led their men into battle.

LOL! Led their men into battle . . . You mean, like, "generals"? Or the heads of state who sat in their tents or on their horse on the far periphery of the battle? What year are we talking here, how many centuries BC?

The only commander in chief I can think of to come close to that in the modern era is George Washington.

Same old Democrats. They really need a new playbook. We saw the same reaction when President Reagan called the Sovs the Evil Empire. The same reaction when President Bush first spoke of the Axis of Evil. Don't talk like that - you might upset our enemies! Say what you will about TREASON but Ann explicitly and thoroughly documents this pattern of Dimocrat behavior. It's pathetic and these guys think they are presidential material?

Are you ... oh, never mind.

Pretty crappy Opus, though.

I never used the term "commander in chief." The author compared Bush's remark to those uttered by leaders during battle: "Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead." "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes." I hardly think "Bring 'em on" (especially when you consider the source) embodies the essence of bold, fearless leadership the author thinks it does. If Bob Lonsberry seriously thinks we have another General Patton on our hands, he's delusional.

Gee, Me thinks your post #13 should be added to the " downright asinine quotes" found on your homepage.

bring 'em on!

Very practical when you think about it. We are dealing with terrorists who go to great lengths to blend in to the public. bring 'em on! is a taunt. bring 'em on! is a challenge. when the idiot terrorists respond to the taunt, they expose themselves and are targeted, then die.

Looks good to me.

bring 'em on!

You ARE delusional, and appear to think that captains and generals are allowed to utter phrases but presidents are not. Look at Ronald Reagan, who told Gorbachev to "tear down this wall" but then ran away to America and left American troops in Germany. Guess he was a big wimp too!

The actual street-language phrase is "Bring It On" -- and it's easy to see why the rats are so upset, if we remember that their official motto is "Take it off!"

Another OpEd'er gets it wrong... it's "KAKKATE KOI!"... Yeesh!
