SADDAM AND GEORGE

Well, the obvious story is Saddam Hussein. What a wonderful sight!! The tyrant of the mid-East, caught in a rat-infested hole. And it certainly was a telling day for John Kerry. Did you see what he had to say?

“If we had done this with a sufficient number of troops, if we had done this in a globalized way, if we had brought more people to the table, we might have caught Saddam Hussein sooner. We might have had less loss of life. We would be in a stronger position today with respect to what we're doing.”

Is this man trying to lose? It sure looks like it. In direct contrast, it was a great day for President Bush. His stay-the-course, full resolve, do-what-it-takes-to-protect the United States attitude made the capture of Saddam possible.

During the 2000 election, George Bush was the candidate with little foreign policy experience, the candidate that wanted to keep the U.S. out of policing the world. He was elected on his domestic policy experience, along with his strong character. In an ironic twist worthy of Sherlock Holmes. The foreign policy of George Bush has been positively stellar, he is one of those people who has an innate gift to do the right thing to make us safer and his domestic policies really stink. Signing a campaign finance reform bill he thought was unconstitutional, signing the Medicare debacle, steel tariffs, etc. One of the few good things I can say about him, and it’s a very good thing, he is staunchly pro life. He understands the holocaust, and I don’t use that word flippantly or lightly, we are in the midst of with abortion on demand.

So, is George Bush a great president? He’s pretty good. His foreign policy has been wonderful and just what I wanted from him. His domestic policy smells like old socks. If he was President during times like Clintoon had, free of foreign policy landmines (for the most part), I would call him fairly poor as a President. But because foreign problems rule the times today, I’m pretty happy with our President.
