The fact that there are Americans -- including elected leaders -- who do not wish him well in this endeavor in a post-9/11 world is mind-boggling.

Mind boggling, indeed, Wolfstar.

Thanks for the post, and the whole statement by our courageous President. May God continue to guide his decisions as he deals with our enemies - within and without.

I have reauthorized this program more than 30 times since the September the 11th attacks, and I intend to do so for as long as our nation faces a continuing threat from al Qaeda and related groups.

IOW. GWB to MSM:

UP YOURS!

Thanks for the information on jmpmstr4u2, I have just looked at his recent posts and it seems he was due home very shortly.

Prayers for him and his family at this uncertain time.

All Americans should, however, have the same reverential respect for this great, visionary man.

Yes! It would be nice if the word PRESIDENT was used in front of his name. (sorry-something happened yesterday regarding this that I'm still fuming about)

That is where I have seen that look on our President's face before. The same look he had when he delivered his address yesterday (Saturday) is on his face in that memorial link of 9-11.

Thank you. That tag line expresses my exact feelings. I've stood up for our intelligence community for a long time, always thinking there were some incompetents but mostly supporting them.

If they can't catch these people who are leaking vital information, there is no way to have any faith in them at all.
