"But the war on terrorism will not be won through attrition, particularly since military action will often breed more terrorists and more resentment of the United States."

Sounds like the liberal talking points, I wonder what he thinks about the U.N. scandal.

I, too, have stopped listening to Laura. All her sound bite replays of the "hate America" crowd is not how I want to start out my day. I've turned to Tony Snow! Hopefully, he won't get on my nerves. His radio show is much more to my liking than when he was on Fox News Sunday. He definitely takes sides!

[Howlin]

Don't forget that Woodward AND Bernstein are the first to run to the microphones to declare any and all scandals "not as big as Watergate" because, of course, they "own" that one.

[Lacey]

Thanks for the firsthand report!

[arasina]

You ARE rooting for Indiana, right? :o)

[Darlin']

LOL. I'm sorry. :)

[CedarDave]

I believe it was Bernstein that wrote the prison article, but I get them confused, too!

[Howlin]

Nor did he mention dogs, ponies and circus animals. :-)

[Peach]

Legends in their own minds.

[michaelt]

That's a man, baby.</austinpowers>

The DNC and local democrat clubs have cranked up their "seminar" callers. (hi long time listener I agree with everything but I disagree with you because bush is an idiot and kerry is right about X)

Conservatives are prevented from accessing the liberal media but liberal are allowed to lie their way onto conservative media. (hanity seems to allow more seminar callers.)

[noexcuses]

This is the first time I have seen a sitting President up close like this.

You can color me JEALOUS!! But only because of THIS president :-)

[jwalsh07]

By the way, the fusion ticket would never fly, one of us is an opposition researchers dream. :-}

[GOP_1900AD]

That's great to hear. My mood has gone up several notches. God Bless you, thank you for all you do, and God Bless America!

[moondoggie]

I'm one of his biggest boosters! I'm going to vote for him, but his speech just didn't do anything for me.

Why the smart ass response?

[Miss Marple]

That sincerity is why I chose to support him. I watched him on Road to the White House on C-SPAN and I was struck at how he talked to everyone with the same degree of interest and courteous tone...reporters, grey-haired old ladies in the crowd, big shot Republicans, teenagers looking for an autograph. It was quite unusual and I thought him to be the first honest guy I have seen running for the Presidency in a long, long time.

There's another NBA series going on?

[CedarDave]

The Rats are so desperate that they will outright lie, and the press will reinforce their lies and that will give them impetus to vomit more lies and so it will go through November.

[Pukin Dog]

The US will still be pulling the strings, and has taken pains to make that so. Think about it. How can the US allow its rubber meets the road goals to be deflected by an unelected body?

Nothing risky about it.

Any member of that counsel knows that without the US, every member is a deal lump of flesh the moment we leave. We don't have to keep any special deals. You can predict that most people will make decisions that keep their asses from being blown up. They wont be going off the reservation. They can pull strings with no fear of dying as long as the US has a reason to protect them.
