“Heres my apology. W shows some cajones at long last.”
This meme is beyond TIRED!

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE:
—After being attacked by terrorists (via the taking of hostages), Carter and Reagan pay the Iranian regime BILLIONS to release the hostages.
—After being attacked by terrorists, Reagan pulls the Marines out of Lebanon.
—After defeating Hussein in Kuwait, Bush 41 follows Powell’s advice and ends the conflict before completing the job (thousands of Kurds/Shiites are slaughtered as a result).
—After being attacked multiple times by terrorists, Clinton withdraws from Somalia and later fires a few rockets at some empty tents.
—AFTER BEING ATTACKED ON 9/11/01, PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH ACTUALLY TAKES THE FIGHT TO THE TERRORISTS IN BOTH AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ, FREEING 50 MILLION SOULS IN THE PROCESS . . . He fightS the good fight in MANY hot spots all over the world! Simultaneously, the President has cut taxes repeatedly and implemented pro-growth economic policies that have given us an economy/employment rate that is the envy of the world!
Again, REAL MEN lead with vision and courage, and they do so by thinking with their brain not their genitalia!
[BTW: If you’re referring to the so-called “new tone”, just remember who pioneered this approach: Ronald Reagan. Newt Gingrich used a different communication strategy with disastrous results — his likability rating is still in the sewer (which is why he will NEVER run for much less be elected as president)!
Conversely, GWB actually learned something from the master . . . which is why, despite the war and constant criticism, he still has a JA rating around 40% (Rasmussen, Battleground and IBD/TIPP — the only INDEPENDENT pollsters still polling) and a LIKABILITY RATING over 60% (Battleground Poll) . . . ALL other WAR presidents have either averaged JA ratings in the 20s, or were unable to run for much less win re-election — FDR died before facing the unpleasant war/post-war decisions that Truman was forced to make!]
Great Post! In addition, with his entire focus on the biggest issue of our lifetimes he has little time or ammo left to fight Dems on domestic issues.
The Surge is proof enough he has more than enough Testosterone to lead.
Pray for W and Our Troops
The ones who say 'finally' and something about male genitalia do it to make themselves feel good......not because there's any truth to it..
This is actually a far more positive thread than I've seen in a long time on this sinking forum......
Maybe some have finally figured it out and have left the Donner Party?
Great Post. Thanx for the “history lesson”! :)
Excellent post.
“After being attacked by terrorists (via the taking of hostages), Carter and Reagan pay the Iranian regime BILLIONS to release the hostages.”
This is not completely correct. The day Reagan was inaugurated was the day the hostages were released. Reagan could not have paid billions in one day. He didn’t have that kind of money to control on his first day.
