The Islamists, of course, are truly a threat to many Americans, primarily because of more lethal weapons.

This is not about Bush not fighting hard enough, this is about people refusing to believe there is a fight. There is only so much one man can do and remain politically viable.

It seems that Newt wants to be president, well let him run and then maybe he can bitch from the front seat instead of the back.

So now that his last election is behind him and he has called it like it is, he is justified in his concern that being too aggressive now will hand the White House to the Dems in ’08.

And I doubt any of us here really know which direction is the better one to bring about a lasting long term victory. Big shoes indeed.

How much ground would we lose (and how hard to make it up) in the long term WOT if the Dems took the white house and summarily lost it after 4 years of fumbling handwringing? Giuliani, or dare I say it, Gingrich, might have a better chance in ’12 than in ’08, to play the role of our much needed Churchill.

I think one of the things that drives the quisling defeatists even crazier is that he shows no sign of being uncomfortable exactly where he is. As David says he should be more forthright in identifying the enemy; as far as eloquent, he usually sounds awkward but his speeches are refreshingly free of gaseous Clintonisms requiring continual parsing and explication.

What was Ferraro doing on Cavuto? Was he interviewing national pols that were married to the Mob?

George W. Bush is infected with the virus of political correctness. He simply did not wish to offend the Islamic community. Unfortunately, this has resulting in confusing the majority of American people with his unwillingness to be blunt. Also, he has made himself more politically vulnerable! A more cynical politician would have instinctively realized the benefit in more precisely describing our radical Muslim foes.

I have often remarked that President Bush would be far more effective if were more vindictive like LBJ and Richard Nixon. The guy is just too nice. He needs to be bit more nasty.

It took 5 years for President Bush to say who the enemy was, 5years to say Islamic Fascist, not a very good start in a war that will last decades. Not a very good start with one of our major parties ready to throw in the towel to people who used young children to clear mine fields by walking across them during the Iran/Iraqi war. You donít show people like this weakness, they have the steel of a crazed religion or cult in their spines and even if it takes their death they will seek yours for these are the people who ìlove death like you love life.î

We need the shock and awe of a World War 2 type of offensive, they think they can do anything to kill out civilization, to kill us. They have to realize what is to come if they get lucky and take out one of our cities and kill millions of our citizens, we can not let maniacís who have said over and over that they will kill us get away with it, we have to act on the assumption they will do it. The Iranians will either manufacture a bomb or buy one from the North Koreans, the politicians who allow this are remiss in judgment and borders on fecklessness. It must not be allowed to happen.

I contend that this predates 9/11/01, and contributed to the nation’s unpreparedness.
