I Fell Far Short Of Living Up

A Free And Prosperous Iraq Will Be A Major Blow To The Terrorists And Their Desire To Establish A Safe Haven In Iraq Where They Can Plan And Plot Attacks

As A Texas Loyalist Who Followed Bush To Washington With Great Hope And Personal Affection And As A Proud Member Of His Administration, I Was All Too Ready To Give Him And His Highly Experienced Foreign Policy Advisers The Benefit Of The Doubt On Iraq. Unfortunately, Subsequent Events Have Showed That Our Willingness To Trust The Judgment Of Bush And His Team Was Misplaced.

It Is Regrettable That Senator Kennedy Has Chosen Veteran's Day To Continue Leveling Baseless And False Attacks That Send The Wrong Signal To Our Troops And Our Enemy During A Time Of War. It Is Also Regrettable That Senator Kennedy Has Found More Time To Say Negative Things About President Bush Then He Ever Did About Saddam Hussein. If America Were To Follow Senator Kennedy's Foreign Policy, Saddam Hussein Would Not Only Still Be In Power, He Would Be Oppressing And Occupying Kuwait.

Despite What Some People Have Said, President Bush Did Not Want Black People To Die In New Orleans. However, He Did Hope They Would Not Relocate To Any Areas Of Texas That He Likes To Frequent.

As I Have Heard Bush Say, Only A Wartime President Is Likely To Achieve Greatness, In Part Because The Epochal Upheavals Of War Provide The Opportunity For Transformative Change Of The Kind Bush Hoped To Achieve. In Iraq, Bush Saw His Opportunity To Create A Legacy Of Greatness.
