I noticed over on Fox News that even somebody as shrill as Eleanor Clift wouldn't rise to the bait, and criticise the President for the political angle on this. The best she could do was grumble about it being right that he go to "visit the troops in a war he started."

President Bush has done a masterful job of outflanking the Rats, and its not even the election year yet. Disagree with the Medicare bill if you wish (it can be fixed in 2005 after we sweep the Rats out) but we have a President who knows how to lead, and by leading, knows how to win.

I think it would be even better if President Bush would actually bring up Hillary's comments from about a week ago (where she said SHE visited the troops at Walter Reed Hospital and HE needed to blah blah blah) and then graciously THANK her, saying,

"She was right. Our troops DID need to see their COMMANDER IN CHIEF and President in person, in Iraq. I'm glad my staff planned this two months ago and was able to keep it a secret." hee hee hee

Amen. As much as I loved Bush 41, he didn't go for the jugular. GW has Barbara's backbone---and claws.
