But I thought Bush was the same as Clinton, or Gore...how can this be? /saracasm

Some of the naysayers should get over here and read this article. I'm sending it along to some of my doubting friends.

Thanks for the pings, Freedom and ohio. Great article--hats off to the truth, for once.

Thanks for the ping, OWF. Zev Chafets actually "gets" it as did most of the G-8 leaders. We are blessed that our President has a fundamental understanding of the right and wrong ways of the world, remains true to his conscience, and is quickly and logically persuasive in presenting his solutions to his peers. By stripping away all the spin he brings others around in short order. Betty, thanks for posting this.

"But I thought Bush was the same as Clinton, or Gore...how can this be?"

Indeed. I happened to hear Gore speak today for a few ungodly minutes. The nauseation factor was so great, I am convinced that had Gore's election fraud gone through, there would be a massive "sickout" by Americans who would have literally been sickened to death by his orations and his pretense.

Maybe that's what Hillary and Bill were counting on? Maybe their plan was for Algore to make so many sick that they would be "forced" to step back on the stage of power to "save" the country from mass hospitalizations!

Always! Think they'll ever figure it out? ........ Nah

Thanks for the ping FWI!! What a great article and such a tribute to Bush!! Chirac can tell it to someone who cares - NUANCE??? - good Lord, the guy is living in the stone ages. PC is on its way out. Also, Schroeder may have been quiet about the whole thing as he may be facing defeat come September if the conservative Stroibel (?) pulls it out and wins. Let's hope so.

I just love the Bush/Putin relationship. It is for real.

To me!! This says it all

"In less than two years, Bush has savaged conventional wisdom by dropping the anti-ballistic missile treaty, green-lighting Star Wars, walking away from the Kyoto global warming pact, boycotting a United Nations conference on human rights and saying no to the new international criminal court in The Hague. He has taken the U.S. to war without the permission of a coalition, restored "good" and "evil" to the language of big-power diplomacy and introduced an American defense doctrine of unilateral preemption. And now he is insisting that the price of self-determination should be civilized behavior.

This is a foreign policy revolution unmatched even by President Ronald Reagan.

Bush knows that civilization requires America to run the world — and that if it isn't run according to clear and simple principles, it can't be run at all.

That's the best passage for sure. I particularly like this part:

Bush knows that civilization requires America to run the world — and that if it isn't run according to clear and simple principles, it can't be run at all.

Actually, I don't think it mattered to the Clintons that much either way whether Gore or Bush won. They had pumped up the economy, balance of payments, and such so high, that they knew it was coming down. Time to duck, let some hapless sucker take the White House for 4 years, get hit with a serious repression and likely some terrorism as well, so that Hillary could come riding to the rescue.

Yeah, there ain't no difference between them, right? I share your sarcasm.

And a hearty AIRBORNE bump to you, sir!

Never made it to Master Parachutist.

The year in Viet Nam, no jumps at all, not even any practice ones. Then there was no time before my enlistment ended to quailify.

Chirac "let it be known that in his view, the President of America was acting without nuance.

Meanwhile, back in France, yet another success in the annals of France's "nuanced" foreign policy manifests itself....

Be Seeing You,
