I think it's great they share such common interests. Bush does it to the American people, Foley does it to pages.

But what about our kids who will be saddled with W's huge deficits?

Or all the dead soldiers?

George W. Bush is another Harry Truman, hated intitially but when the narrow minded critics finally get enough time behind them, their hindsight allows them to eventually see the man as one with an extraordinary forward focused, long term vision for the middle east. Bush's vision for the post 9/11 world may not be realized in our lifetimes, but he will evenually go down in history as one of our greatest Presidents.

What about dead soldiers? There were thousands of dead soldiers piling up under the administrations of FDR, HST, JFK and LBJ. Lyndon Johnson kept sending soldiers to die in a war he knew was not winnable only because he knew if he withdrew he wouldn't have the political power to force the great society through congress.

I admire the President because of his courage and steadfast leadership to stick to his vision long after the fair weathered, yellow bellied sapsuckers had deserted him the instant public opinion changed.

You mean his vision of WMD? Or the one of record deficits?
