[I just posted the following at the DOSE -- now I'm off to care for my two sick kids and listen to my President!]

As our visionary, LEADER-in-Chief speaks tonight, just remember the following key points:

THE PRESIDENT: AN APPRECIATION
By Jeffrey Lord

So with the new year upon us and already filled with the chorus of modern day Copperheads doing their best to undermine America's will in the midst of a life and death struggle not only for Iraqis but the rest of us, it is decidedly to George W. Bush's credit that he has the courage that Bobby Kennedy spoke of so often as RFK quoted Shaw.

GEORGE BUSH HAS THE COURAGE TO DREAM OF A GOOD AND DECENT SOMETHING THAT NEVER WAS -- A FREE AND DEMOCRATIC MIDDLE EAST -- AND TO STAKE HIS PRESIDENCY ON THE HARD AND YES, IMPREFECT WORK, OF SAYING "WHY NOT"?

THANK YOU FOR THAT, MR. PRESIDENT.

AS WITH LINCOLN, THERE IS A WORD FOR YOUR BEHAVIOR. THE WORD IS LEADERSHIP.

FACING IRAN:
ARABS SEE NO CHOICE BUT TO PREP FOR WAR
By Amir Taheri

One reason for Tehran's "increasing cockiness" is Ahmadinejad's success in convincing the Khomeinist leadership that the United States is in "strategic retreat."

"The American Great Satan is wounded and bleeding," says Hassan Abbasi, Ahmadinejad's strategic advisor." BUSH IS THE LAST US PRESIDENT TO MAKE A STAND. And he, too, is weakened by the victory of his enemies [in recent U.S. elections]."

Abbasi believes that the Islamic Republic should adopt "pre-emptive discouragement" to break the will of the American leaders that will succeed Bush. "IF WE BREAK BUSH, NO OTHER AMERICAN LEADER WOULD HAVE THE HEART TO DEFY ISLAM," he says.

REMEMBER: Speech or no speech, America's enemies (foreign and domestic) will still hate the President; however, the President's stalwart supporters -- this country's patriots -- will continue to stand with him!!

RASMUSSEN
Today's JA rating: 44%
[. . . add another 6 points to compensate for Rasmussen's 7-point oversampling of Democrats and the President's JA rating stands at 50% among adults . . . Bottomline: The President retains the support of his base!!]

Unscientific on-line polls:
LAURA INGRAHAM: 83% support 'surge'
BILL O'REILLY: 70% support 'surge'

IGNORE THE MSM POST-SPEECH POLLS . . . Predictably, the MSM pollsters will use their push polls to advance a pro-Democrat, anti-military, anti-victory, anti-Bush agenda!!!

. . . onward to VICTORY!
