Pres. Bush may slip on grammar here and there, but, can you imagine Clinton taking this approach: "Maybe it's not the politically expedient thing to do, is to increase troops coming into an election, but we just can't -- you can't make decisions based upon politics about how to win a war."
I've been sitting here 15 minutes and any comment I can think to make seems inadequate!
You're right, of course. The simple truth of what he says is profound, because it takes a courageous person to say it when it counts. We have the right president at a difficult time for the nation and the world. Thank you.
