I leave you with this thought: The man assembled a stellar cast of foreign policy advisors whose first loyalty is to the United States. He hasn't flinched from doing what has needed to be done, and he hasn't played politics. I doubt one push-poll or focus group has been employed.
You see, "courage" can have different definitions depending on who you are. For a nation's leader who is beholden to the good will of the electorate, it is true "courage" to simply do what you say you're going to do, and d*** the naysayers, whether it comes from a pissant like you, or a pissant like Sorkin.
I see. Kinda like "that depends on what the definition if "is",is.",huh? You are sure to get a colorful ribbon for your Bush-Bot uniform for that one.
