By Gawd its amazing and long past time.
Maybe the President has been reading Free Republic.
Now dont lay back when the next attack comes,and it will, Nail their hides to the door.
He didn't really strike back at Clinton... after all the first two events happened under Carter's and Reagan's watch...
About f*cking time Mr. President!
Thank you, I knew you could do it.
From the first time Arafat committed a terrorist act in the 60's, through being honored at the White House by Clinton, continuing to Bush's praise at the White House of his successor, terror has been rewarded.
It continues to this minute.
Correct argument. Should have been made six months ago.
Maybe the President is finally waking up to this fact and has decided to do something about it. Hopefully this is just a start.
Yes!! I was watching this morning and just happened to look up when Bush and the rest of the A-Team were around the podium, then I heard this come out of his mouth and my jaw dropped. I yelled to my wife "Holy shi-ite, did you just hear that?" I got no response as the wife was busy doing her hair or something, but I was absolutely pumped to finally here him stand up to the media who treat this war as a creation of the Bush Administration.
Attention Media Whores! Bush is cleaning up a lot of other people's messes! Iraq, Terrorists, Levees, Overtaxing, Social Security, No accountability in schools, and on and on. I know he isn't doing everything we want, but damn if he isn't doing a fine job with what he has tackled. We just need to elect a Pro_Borders Republican to finish up the last MAJOR issue.
It's about bleedin' time he took a shot back, as opposed to his backbone-free father who "likes" the SinkMaster.
It appears he took a swipe at Reagan and Carter, too.
Very good! I have been depressed at the resounding silence coming out of the WH. I realize that there's no point in responding to every little Dem whimper, but failing to respond at all leaves Bush's supporters hung out to dry.
World War III began when the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993, but the Clinton administration treated it as a purely criminal case.
None of the terrorists were sentenced to death. Does anyone remember why?
FINALLY!
And Iraq was involved in the first World Trade Center bombing, Iraq was involved in the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kenya, Iraqi Intelligence was involved in 9/11 planning meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Iraq supplied WMD (chemicals) to terrorists in Sudan, Saddam Hussein tried to assassinate Pres. George HW Bush, Saddam Hussein paid "rewards" to terrorist suicide bombers, Saddam Hussein gave the terrorists sanctuary in Iraq after they were run out of Afghanistan.
While the terrorists were attacking U.S. interests around the world, Billy Clinton was getting serviced in the Oval Office. Billy & Hillary undermined the U.S. military and failed to defend the U.S. against its enemies. As George W. Bush has said, the terrorist (with reason) expected the U.S. to roll over and play dead after 9/11 - or perhaps file a law suit in Federal court in San Francisco.
What is it Marines say? Hooya!
It's about time!
He's a little late to start rallying the country, I'd say.
President Bush is right . . . and it's about time he said something! If Boy Clinton and Liver-lips Carter had been half as aggressive and strident in fighting foreign enemies as they are now in criticizing the guy who's actually being a president and doing the job of commander-in-chief, we wouldn't have the problems we're facing now.
For two former presidents to carp about the current president's policies--especially during time of war--and for obvious political reasons, why, it's absolutely disgraceful.
But what should we expect from either of them? Clinton was (is) a lying scoundrel and Carter as president was (and remains) an absolute joke.
You know the Democratic party is in tatters when its leading candidate is a manipulative, cynical, amoral shrew, and the only reason that she isn't in there beating the drum with the Kennedy, Carter and her "husband" is that she understands such conduct is reprehensible as well as unpatriotic. When has that recognition ever stopped them?
And their conclusion was correct as far as the spineless bent one when he was in office.
