Excellent.

Regards, Ivan

Bump!

[Steve_Seattle]

An excellent piece. I wish I had written it.

[Miss Marple]

Thanks Ivan!

The whinger/whiner types are back tonight. They are sure Blair is going wobbly, think we have lost the PR war, and want war right NOW, dammit, or they will no longer support Bush!

I am glad to see Mr. Brooks understands what's going on.

[headsonpikes]

Great piece!

'Resolute' is a much finer, and more accurate word.

Thanks for posting this article about our latest non crisis and GW's shortcoming as seen by the left wing maggots.

[Grampa Dave]

An excellent article and more insight to why/how GW drives the left wing maggots to self destruction.

"I'm glad to see Mr. Brooks understands what's going on."

Unlike the president of my alma mater, Seattle University, who recently wrote an op-ed piece decrying Bush's alleged lack of leadership. He seemed to think that leadership meant changing one's principles in response to every shift in public opinion, every setback, every criticism. In short, he didn't have a CLUE what leadership is.

I want to tell you something I just heard on CNN Headline News.....they just said they have unconfirmed reports of a firefight in Quetta, Pakistan..

[Miss Marple]

Good. It would be cool if Tenet and Rumsfeld ran in to interrupt the press conference and say "We got him!"

[Grampa Dave]

Only if it was the parts and pieces of him leftover from whenever he got whacked or is whacked.

Another poster is saying that Jim Angle reported that the Blix report is bad.....did you hear this??

[Miss Marple]

Yes...100 separate violations. "Very Scary" according to someone who has seen it.

Now whether Blix USES it in his presentation is another matter.

[gridlock]

Not "wobbly" at all, is he?

[libertylover]

Stay strong, Mr. President.

[meyer]

This is certainly a good post! :^)

[agincourt1415]

Yes, Blix said there are over 100 areas of concern (Violations) of WMD in his report to the UN, its not good (for Saddam).

Bye, Bye, Saddam

[Dog]

But will Blix use it??

Just saw a snippet of the Judy Woodruff show( I never tarry there long enough to see any commercials, advertisers take note)- Anyway-CNN WH correspondent tells Judy of Bush's " shaky poll numbers ". Within 120 seconds, Judy reports on Bush's poll numbers "holding steady".Judy prefaced a Gallup poll about the war,with some vague,quasi negative adjectives- and then announces that 84% believe Iraq is ignoring the UN.

Honestly and truthfully - I give thanks each and every day for the clarity, purpose and "certainty" of GWB and Tony Blair. God help us if 537 votes had gone the other way in Florida.
