Exactly right, pissant. Israel has no stauncher ally than the USA under Bush's watch.

And anyone who knows history is aware of that.

Those who say otherwise only reveal their ignorance.

With all due respect to you, my FRiend, Israel is its own nation and their voters need to elect Benjamin Netanyahu if they're serious about national security.

Blaming President Bush and Secretary Rice doesn't fly.

[chesty_puller]

WOW! The TRUTH about President Bush for a change!

Dam, this is refreshing. I usually avoid these kind of posts because they are just more Bush-bash. W has done many things correct, and a little credit doesn't hurt.

If the title has anything good about President Bush, the vultures usually sweep in and attack with an ugly vengeance.

This is refreshingly mild, IMO.

Wouldn't it be nice if every thread about the President were at least respectful, and not vile?

There might be more decent people on this forum, and less good people in hiding.....

"I dread the day when Pres. George W. Bush is no longer our president."

Me, too, "varina davis", me too!

DITTO!

"With all due respect to you, my FRiend, Israel is its own nation and their voters need to elect Benjamin Netanyahu if they're serious about national security."

DEFINITELY!!!

I was not referring to Koch as the bootlicker. It was the poster that accused anyone of criticizing President Bush that I was calling a bootlicker. Read the post.

[ClaireSolt]

Koch needs to give our allies a face-saving pass on Iraq. Bush has them all fighting in Afghanistan in the very first fighting mission of NATO. Even the French are there, though they puled a wine and cheese detail in Kabul. They are also peacekeeping in Lebanon and Italy may send troops to Palestine. Nonetheless dems whine about our position in the world, eventhough Bush is on very good terms with the essential Europeans and Arabs.

[Cobra64]

Stop your whining, Cobra. It isn't manly.

And I don't whine. Liberals whine. BTW, read my homepage.

[Eva]

Wow, that's really powerful, especially coming from a Democrat.

[Nancee]

We're just so smart, aren't we, "timer"?

:-)

[ohioWfan]

Who taught you that it is wrong to have heroes, bill?

A person can be both a politician and a hero, if he is a man of character and conviction before he is a politician, as President Bush is.

It is a form of elitism to say that no politician can ever be a hero.

[nwrep]

There's a difference in disagreeing with the Prez and being a boot-licker.

I am sure there is. I am also sure that Ed Koch disagrees with the Prez on many things, yet he is respectful of the Prez (unlike other Dems).

[The South Texan]

I kind of agree, but it is time for the President to let the military to "let it rip" in Iraq and elsewhere we need to rid ourselves of the scum. Watching some of the President Ford coverage just a little while ago and an interview he did after he left office he said the fact we did not let the full force of the military be releases in Vietnam was a big mistake and it should never be repeated again. Truer words have never been spoken.

[ohioWfan]

You were whining in post #99.

I'm both a mother and a teacher. I know whining when I see it.

I could hear the nasal twang in your voice when you said 'No man is God.'

It was a ridiculous and pointless whiny comment considering the substance of this article.

So I'll say it again.......stop whining.

President Bush IS a hero. Maybe some day even you will see that.

[Gondring]

If the Iraqi government refuses our demands, our reply should be "Goodbye. You're on your own."

What a concept!

I think Pres. Bush has made critical mistakes in his presidency, especially in regards to Iraq and immigration, but I still admire him for being one of the most honest politicians we've ever had. Tony Blair is waaaay to the left of me, but I admire him greatly for the same reason. Both do what they think is right and are daily villified as lying monsters. I wouldn't have their jobs for anything. Yet they take their jobs seriously (as Clinton did not), and are confident in their decisions. I can respect that.

"Wouldn't it be nice if every thread about the President were at least respectful, and not vile?

AMEN!!! Yes, especially since he is morally upright and a man and a president we can be proud of; i.e., keeps his zipper closed up in the Oval Office at all times; is faithful and loving to his wife and a good example to his daughters; has not been an obstructer of justice, a perjurer, one who commits high crimes and misdemeanors, a liar, a rapist, a felon, traitor, etc. ad nauseum. He is a leader we can be proud of here and throughout the entire world.

And I am very, very proud to state that he is MY President!!
