Advantage: Bush

As Robert Caldwell points out, in the battle for the hearts and minds of the American people, President Bush is beating the loose-lipped elite MSM -- handily.

Cliff;
A few thoughts,

Today's young men and women are far better than we were. They are better led, better armed and better motivated. They realize why they are doing what they are doing.

I make a point os chatting with every young GI I see - I have ALWAYS walked away impressed by the quality of the young men and women who wear the uniform.

In every war there are a few who go awry - The US military does not allow that to remain unpunished. And the media insures that we find out about every miscreant - totally blowing it out of proportion.

How many hospitals have been built? how many schools? how many children have been given medical attention? And this applies to Vietnam as well as Iraq.

I am sitting at my desk this morning . over my left shoulder is my Honorable Discharge from the Air Force. I consider that my most precious possession. People like Dittohead have tried to demean it. We, however, have youngsters today that bring honor to it every day.


I thank G-d for the young men and women in uniform. I also thank G-d for the men and women who raised these youngsters to understand the meaning of the word honor.

And the reason for this? Because the sons and daughters of the elites -- the rich, the powerful, the educated -- can't be bothered with the military.
That's shocking. I mean, it all seemed so real. I met a man on Friday who had been a doctor with a successful private practice in Door County, Wisconsin. He joined the Air Force in 1994 and still serves, which is why he's here in the DC area now.

Must have been a ghost.

It was an honor.

It was an honor to wear the uniform of my country.

I never said I was.

I am one of the lucky ones. There are over 58,000 names on a wall in DC. I am honored to have worn the same uniform as these GI's did.

And once again - I am humbled by the sheer qualiuty of today'sGI's. They are so much better than we were

Historians? That's a hoot!

The Bush Admininstration is still the CURRENT administration. History has only barely begun to sort out REAGAN administration.

By the way, didn't "Historians" claim that Reagan would be considered the worst president in history, too? Not quite working out that way, is it?
