Bush is an odd mixture. Thank God he was in the White House on 9/11. If algore had been there, we would have blown up another aspirin factory and made a speech. The democRat approach gave us 9/11. We cannot put these maniacs in charge of the nation's security again.

I admire Bush's character. He is a man who says what he means and means what he says. He is plain-spoken and straight forward. Bush doesn't have to be the limelight. He let his military commanders announce the capture of Hussein, and then let Tony Blair make the announcement next. Finally, Bush gave a low-key speech. This is classic W.

The tax cuts were a good start. I hope he goes back for seconds.

However, the leftist legislation that has gone through his administration is alarming. CFR lead to SCOTUS declaring the Constitution less important than the 'interests' of the government. The Farm Bill, the Education Bill, and the Medicare Bill were enormous handouts that my kids are going to have to pay for. And their kids.

And when is he going to support the 2nd amendment?

And when is he going to protect the borders of the US?

Bush gathered the best cabinet this country has had in a long time. Probably the best ever. Their execution of this war has been history-making. Brilliant to say the least.

But the security of this nation trumps everything else. We are in a life-or-death struggle, and the Rats will hand us the latter. We tend to forget the magnitude of what we are fighting. This really and truly is a world war, and must be approached with the same single-mindedness as the last world war. The affluence of our nation and our superpower status makes it look like a minor skirmish. But superpowers have toppled before, and terrorism is the perfect weapon to destroy this one.

Bush is fighting it with the right approach. You cannot fight terrorists directly, but you must go against the nations that are funding it. If you try to fight the terrorists themselves, they disappear. But if you cut off their supply lines, their sanctuary bases, and their training support they can be eliminated. Because really, it is those nations that are attacking us, using al Qaeda as a proxy.

Gaddafi's plea to remove WMDs from Libya shows this approach works. And now Iran is wanting to talk. W is the man for the job.
