Bush spoke and many listened… But not all-

Fort Bragg, N.C. June 28, 2005
Nationally Televised Address

Last night I thought President Bush was on message as he has been since day one of 9-11. Yet so many say they just wanted to throw up when they heard his words. All they wanted from this President was a change of course, a change of message, to give them something new or for him to say he screwed up a few things along the way. Why I ask? It’s not going to happen. It would just give his critics something else to bitch about. It’s not in this President’s being to do such a thing.

This President doesn’t rely on any polls and he doesn’t give a rat what his critics say or think anyway. He doesn’t put his finger to the political winds to make any decision. Thank God... And unlike most, what he says is what you get!!!

After his speech Tuesday night, it was predictable that the critics would be saying he didn’t say anything new and it was just as predicable that all his supporters, (like me) were saying he stayed on message. Nothing new here...

Yet just like clock work, just moments after the speech and with the President still shaking hands with all those brave solders at Fort Bragg… I’ll be damned if most all the major news media were already out tearing into everything the man had just said. I give up!!! I have never seen so many people, (News Media alike,) trying so hard to make a Vietnam out of something that is not, to make a liar out of a man who is not and wanting so bad to put out the peace signs… cut and run from a war that we most certainly can not.

The dangers to Bush and this war on terror are not these critics. Their minds are set and nothing short of a nuclear explosion going off in a major U.S. city, (where most of them live by the way,) will ever wake them up to the realities of this war. These critics are still fighting over what’s mostly yesterday’s OLD NEWS. We had elections, the critics lost, live with it. Yesterday is not going to kill you my critic friends. What’s going on today and tomorrow most certainly will if we let it.

No… What President Bush is in danger of is his political base losing faith in him and this war. Need not worry of this Mr. President. That’s not going to happen either. We understand what is taking place today and how we got up to this point. Like you, no one knows when or exactly how this war will end in the unforeseeable future. We just know we will surely win……….

I’ve said this time and again and I just can’t help myself to say it one more time…. No matter what your opinion is, on how we got to this point on the war in Iraq, is irrelevant at this time. We can not turn and run from the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan and the war on terror. At this moment on this day, all these wars are one and the same. These crazies are coming after us no matter where we fight this war. The sooner all the American people understand this simple fact, the sooner all this in-house fighting will stop amongst us. Maybe then we can all reunite again as ONE COUNTRY and get this war behind us. (If you listened, really listened to what the President was saying last night you might just understand these words...) It will take this country as ONE to win this war on terror. If we ever let the terrorist completely divide us, (like they seem to be achieving,) we will lose. That’s a reality that truly scares the hell out of me… and so it should you too………
