Thanks for the ping Luis.
Two years ago this morning is one of those times that will be forever etched in our hearts and souls. The shock and numbness of what was happening before out eyes, the panic and fear in our hearts, and the dread and uncertainty of what life would be like in the future.
I remember wondering what our lives were going to be like in the 'new world war' that had surely started that fateful morning. What was life going to be like now that a true, full-fledged war had begun?
I remember thinking how each of the prior terrorist attacks were each larger that the one prior. It followed to reason, that the next attack would be larger still and would surely cost tens of thousands, if not millions, of lives. And I remember the hopelessness in feeling that there was little that we could do to stop it.
Well
.Praise God for George W. Bush, it has been two full years since the last attack, a longer time that could have ever been expected. Our president has proved once again that the best defense is a good offense (and he has been about as 'offensive' as he could be LOL).
While it is still very possible, even likely, that a new attack will occur, every day that passes decreases the odds and increases the thanks and gratitude that we owe to our president.

So nice to see you again.
The debacle is the nine stooges who thrive on tearing down America, giving aid and comfort to our enemies.

Thanks for the nice article, Luis.
And we have been blessed with a President who for all his faults, gaffes, mistakes and compromises has nevertheless maintained the one simple, essential, necessary character trait needed to fight -- and win -- a war against ruthless enemy and the armies of useful idiots that rally to its defense: single-minded determination and an utter disregard for criticism from those who should know better. For all his many manifest failures, it is hard to imagine a politician less effected by the legions of hysterical people determined to put off this fight. In my eyes, he has not tired, he has not faltered, and he has not failed.

For those too blind to see the magnitude of this victory, let them whine and seethe all they want. We are still here. We are still here, and far better off, then we were two years ago today, when entire countries were vast terror camps, and childrens cemeteries. Awesome celebration of this anniversary, Luis. Thank you!

It really is that simple. Sadly, but not surprisingly, Dubya's FR detractors can't agree with this.

To: Luis Gonzalez
Say what you want about George W. Bush and his policies that is of course your right. But consider this, all you defeatists and self-haters out there: it is barely possible, mathematically, to tie the Presidents record for defending this country from a new terrorist horror. You cannot not even hypothetically improve upon it. This is a fact that is undeniable and so obvious that only a few will see it. That sums it up as regards the war. The liberal/socialists don't want us to think about these facts...neither do their abettors in the press.
But more Americans than they imagine know it...insitinctively and precisely because they have lived it, against all odds, and seen it come about. They know who has led us to that record.
Short of some domestic issue that tarnishes this between now and then, this will be abundantly manifest come election time.
I do not think at this point that even another terror attack would do it...Americans rally around their leaders in times of crisis and war, particularly strong, resolute leaders of character...they would do so now.
Just my thoughts.

There is NO doubt in my mind, that there are some "guests" of ours in Guantanamo that fully intended to do what didn't happen.
Yes, we are still protected by God, I think; and try as hard as they are to do away with mention of Him, someday, they will learn as the Arabs are learning even now.
WE DON'T GIVE UP SO EASILY!!!

Well, while I may disagree with the Bush administration on some issues...for example the lack of what I believe is substantive illegal immigration control...or the administration's support of provisions of the Patriot Act which I fear will be terribly abused by a democratic administration at a future date...despite these types of things, I freely recognize and proclaim the great job he has done in this war.
I thank God every day that he is in that seat...instead of Gore. I pray God's blessings and guidance on him each day as well.
Fregards.

Wow, Luis, this is wonderful. Thank you.
