Sorry Peggy, you're still wrong.
You can say that again!
He learned from the strength and style of the best of his predecessors, including Lincoln especially. And regarding history, he learned from Jefferson's War against the Barbary Pirates, a war declared in almost the same language now that Congress used to authorize Jefferson to pursue those Muslim bandits wherever they might be found.

Guess Peggy just couldn't stand it that she didn't write the speech for President Bush. Maybe it's time for Peggy to step down, eh? Hmmmmm? I'd rather go out with a good attitude than sour grapes.
It will be interesting to see if Peggy, in her next column, continues to dig her hole or if she will admit that perhaps President Bush is on the right track.
Ping bttt
I still say you find the best articles posted on FR.
A most interesting read.

"Finally, we heard the speech of President Bush Loud and clear. He, and the American people and their British and other valiant allies have much to do with this event. All I can say is that this man has all the essential traits of character that distinguishes the great men of history; the insistence and utter conviction and the perseverance and steadfastness in the face of all doubters and detractors. This was no ordinary election, and it was not simply to elect a constituent assembly. It was the answer of the people, what they really thought about the liberation, what they really thought of the ideas preached by the president. This was a message by the Iraqi people to the American people and their great president. It was the heart of Iraq answering the heart of America that voted to give the President the mandate to finish the task; it was the answer that the common people of Iraq gave by braving danger and exposing their life and that of their children and families to death, this was their way to make their voice heard.
Well, thank you Mr. President, we heard you; and I am sure you also heard us."
Enough said Peggy. You missed the mark this time.
Peggy was right. If Peggy and broken glass Republicans like myself are nervous about that speech he needs to focus the messages. If "W" decides to use the state of the union speech to talk to freedom movements again we'll know he's really losing it. Hey 'W' we are here, we are here, I know you never have to run for office again but throw us a bone and talk to us. You know, immigration, Bush Doctrine, School decay, Moral decay, Abortion, Evil Judges, the U.N., eliminate income tax, remember? "W"? You there?
