A refreshing perspective, I thought.

A nice, non-hit piece.

I also love the fact that there are no pollsters involved. Clintoon had two full time.

Washington types like to play a parlor game that might be called "What If?" Here's one round: What if Bill Clinton had still been president on Sept. 11?

I think the more interesting question is "What would Ronald Reagan have done?"

Well, this article is snide and grudging almost every step of the way, and filled with small-minded liberal jabs, but the writer nearly admits--with endless backing, filling and obfuscation--that Bush is doing a good job and that Clinton or Gore would have done a lousy job.

"Bush has carved out an approach to war and terrorism marked by discipline, simplicity, and directness - and none of Mr. Clinton's reluctance to put American troops in danger."

Refresh my memory. Which president was it, exactly, who was responsible for more military deployments in his two terms than any other president in American history?

Yet some observers say that the president's 'good-versus-evil' approach to the Iraq situation has probably contributed to a growing hatred of the US in Muslim countries.

Do I care if a towel-head hates the US. These bastards declared war on us 16 months ago. If I were W, I'd have a plan worked out whereby, IF America gets hit one more time, there will be a lot of smooth runways parking spaces for our planes and tanks. Then we do some mopping up, turn operations over to the French, and move on.

... Bill Clinton ... implored Democrats twice to remember that "when people are insecure, they'd rather have somebody who's strong and wrong than somebody who's weak and right."

And then there's King William's approach: "Weak and Wrong".

What if?... The author remembered the first attack on the WTC? In essence a one time missle attack wasn't adequate and Willie had his chance at greatness, but turned his yellow back! Come to think of it, why did the "strong" President flee Sarasota and head for the bunkers in Kansas? Testicular fortitude is not a virtue for politicians!

"While Bill Clinton was not taken seriously by leaders in the world of Islam, George W. Bush is taken very seriously, and his words - unequivocally - are seen as quite decisive," says Fawaz Gerges, a Middle East scholar at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y., who travels frequently to the region.

It's an alpha dog thing. But Muhammad (PBUH?) is always their number one dog.

OK, I'll play the game - let's suppose Bush I was still president in 1993 when the WTC was first attacked - what would have happened THEN?!

Why Bush's war threats have extra gravitas!
