Will Bush Have Been Right All Along?

I tried, and failed, to fit the first paragraph into a tagline. ;-)

[Jorge]

he was right then, and he is right now. And he will crush his critics in history.

Of course. It's beyond me how the left can attack Bush for removing one of the most dangerous mass murdering dictators in our time.

Bush's enemies have lost all rational perspective.

[Cannoneer No. 4]

Too bad scare quotes around the word conservative are now necessary on Free Republic, but they are.

The Commander-in-Chief does not have near as many supporters on this forum as one would think

[pissant]

As long as you're happy. Which indicates to me that you are thankful for the good things in your life.

[pissant]

It'd be a helluva tagline!

[pissant]

It will be just like the Little Red Hen and just like Ronald Reagan's defeat of the USSR. 5 years from now everyone will have been "for" getting rid of saddam, just like they were "for" defeating the commies.

We need to disenfect this country of the quisling party, so a legitimate left of centre opposition can arise, one that is patriotic. But I won't hold my breath.

[pissant]

Correct. The immigration debate has made some otherwise level headed people jump the shark.

[teenyelliott]

Shoot, I am one of the luckiest people in this country. There is nothing I would change about my life. Except maybe my pituitary gland!

Bookmarked

[pissant]

Yes, lucky. But I prefer blessed. ;o)

[pissant]

Are you Ziegfried?

[Blackirish]

was right then, and he is right now. And he will crush his critics in history.

The United States of Mexicana will look kindly on him.

[pissant]

Yes so vote in the democrats. So instead of Bush's plan we get Hillary's and Pelosi's.

[WVNan]

I have decided that the only answer to the Mexican question is to make Mexico a state. We're taking care of it anyway.

[Blackirish]

I'm looking foward to a Pence or Gulliani... a tough skinflint yankee.....after 16 years ..anybody but a Southern big spending good ol boy.

[pissant]

I'm glad you are. Just that no-one is a better CIC right now than the one we have. Support the troops and the mission.

[pollyannaish]

Call it a gut instinct. Dismiss it at will. But I am so absolutely sure that he has been right that I no longer argue with those who disagree in real life.

I am willing to let history take its course. And someday they will hear pollyannaish's voice in the back of their heads whispering a very quiet "I told ya so."

[Blackirish]

Got no choice ..like Rush says hold their feet to the fire.

[chaosagent]

Nope

"The President's arguments, dependent as they were on intelligence and its analysis, could have been mistaken, but if it is to be assumed that he believed them to be true, they did justify the use of force against the Iraqi regime."

IMHO This is the central statement upon which all else hinges.I know the moonbat left sees all sorts of conspiracies and ulterior motives but to me that belies the debate we ought to be having- do we really have the inherent authority to act unilaterally and preemptively? Maybe I'm just 'old school', a Taft/Goldwater republican in a post 911 age.

I think the President acted in good faith, and as he saw his duty to be, on the best available intelligence. But the concept that we can just go in and take out anyone we consider a 'bad guy' on the basis of what they *might* do is one I am not comfortable with. Doesn;t mean I cry for terrorists or don't think we should be preparing for a major piss-up with China but I don't know that I want to see any country have a world empire, even if it's us.
