If you read my comment you will see that I said Bush seems to have lost his fortitude since Iraq. I agree post 911 Bush was awesome. But he seems reconciled to just running out the clock. And what about the Bush Doctrine? You know, if you support terrorists you will be treated as a terrorist, and we will not allow regimes that support terror to acquire WMDs. At the beginning of the year Bush held a press conference and was asked point blank if we would allow Iran to acquire nukes. The old Bush would have hit that high-hanging curve-ball out of the park. It only needed a one word answer--NO! That might have gotten Ahmednutjob's attention. Instead Bush gave an nuanced, diplomatic answer worthy of John Kerry: we are on the right track, working with our European allies who are holding talks with Iran, and if those talks fail we will take the issue to...the UN Security Council and ask for sanctions! Boy, that must have gotten the Mullahs shaking in their boots. No wonder they have since flaunted their nuke program and launched a proxy war against Israel. Bush's only response has been to send Condi to the UN to broker another worthless deal with the French and the Arab League.
I want the old Bush back, the one with the guts.
