It seems that people like Savage and Dowd would have preferred or expected a torch light parade with a strutting, shouting and spitting President dispensing gingoisms and promises of Iraqi destruction.
Bush is a MAN in every respect and took the proper tone for a leader that must put his people and other innocents in harms way for the doing of needful things.
I've said that a million times right on this forum. Some people here are still mad because Bush didn't torch everything east of the Mississippi the day he took office, along with having the Clintons hung on the Mall at dawn.
